CAMI Assembly (an initialism of its original name, Canadian Automotive Manufacturing Inc.) is an automotive assembly plant in Ingersoll, Ontario, Canada, owned and operated by General Motors Canada. The plant currently assembles the Chevrolet BrightDrop battery-electric cargo van for the North American market. CAMI occupies 570 acres (230 ha) and has 1,700,000 square feet (157,900 m2) of floor space of which 400,000 square feet (37,161 m2) was added in 2016,[2] as part of a $560 million investment.[3]
CAMI was established in 1989 as a joint venture with Suzuki, and has been wholly owned by GM since 2009.

This is based on the Japanese production system, which is built on a team concept.[4]
