The '''Lordstown Complex''' (formerly known as Lordstown Assembly and Lordstown Metal Center) is part of a [[General Motors Corporation|General Motors]] [[automobile]] factory in [[Lordstown, Ohio]]. The plant opened in 1966 and currently produces the compact [[GM Delta platform|Delta platform]] cars. It was announced in early April 2006, that as part of GM scaling back production nationwide, that the third shift at the Lordstown plant would cease operations in the coming months. An employee buyout and early retirements eliminated the need for layoffs.

There was speculation that this plant would be the production facility for the [[Saturn Astra]] by 2008, however GM decided not to proceed on that venture in March 2006. The current Saturn facility in Spring Hill, Tennessee is slated for retooling for other GM products as part of General Motors restructuring.
