| '''Spring Hill Manufacturing''' is a [[General Motors]] factory in [[Spring Hill, Tennessee]]. It opened in 1990 as the site for [[Saturn Corporation|Saturn]] manufacturing and continued through March 2004 as the sole manufacturing plant overseen by the Saturn subsidiary <ref>Saturn contract ends era, <i>Detroit News</i>, June 27, 2004, 881 words.</ref>. After the United Auto Workers ratified a new contract in March 2004, the plant became part of General Motors, but Saturn-only manufacturing lines continued until March 2007. The facility includes a four cylinder engine assembly plant, auto assembly plant, paint and plastics plant, a Saturn parts warehouse, and a visitors center. In 2005, the plant had a yearly production of 198,142 vehicles[http://www.gmdynamic.com/company/gmability/environment/plants/facility_db/facility_summary.php?fID=135].

Changes include adding metal stamping and removing the plastics plant (the Saturn production lines used plastic-based panels).[http://www.wkrn.com/nashville/news/spring-hill-gm-plant-to-cease-production-overhaul-facility/85886.htm]. General Motors has stated the plant will manufacture various GM vehicles and no longer be dedicated to Saturns.
