General Motors Co says it expects to add more than 500 jobs at its Tonawanda, N.Y., powertrain plant, about a 50% jump in the workforce there, as production of three new engines begins early next year.
The factory will make 5.3- and 6.2-liter V-8s and a 4.3-liter V-6 that will power GM's latest generation of Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra fullsize pickup trucks.
The company says as many as 300 of the jobs could go to laid-off workers from nearby plants of GM's former parts making unit, Delphi Automotive LLP.

Shifting Landscape of Technology Is a Never-Ending Education
Brent Donaldson, Senior Editor, Modern Machine Shop and Additive Manufacturing Magazine discusses how the shifting landscape of technology that all of Gardner’s writers and editors cover is a never-ending education. If we are truly doing our jobs, we will never feel like we’ve mastered them. As I continue writing and reporting for AM and MMS, it’s easy to imagine how these technologies’ interdependency will continue to grow. It also seems clear that this kind of reporting — the kind that requires editors to experience and share new manufacturing technologies and strategies — is the kind of reporting that only Gardner can produce with any depth. I’m grateful to be part of it.
