Ford President of the Americas Joe Hinrichs declared for the media:
“Adding more jobs and further investing to better serve customers will allow us to contribute more to the great communities we serve.

“The plant has been expanding physically and the equipment has already been coming in, so it takes a year to get all of this stuff done.”

The hiring announcement was made by the KTP's team leader John Painter, who is also very proud of his team, the new body-shop and the new project at Ford.

“We’re really proud of our product and we stand behind it. It’s great for all of us today,” Painter added.

“The economy is booming in Kentucky and I’m excited about it. It’s a great thing to build off of in the future.”
