Ford Motor Company Needs More Facility Workers in Melbourne
2007-07-25 07:42:00 I am thinking about Ford lately. They have been so busy entering other car markets like China and Europe. Is it because they are no longer selling well in the US car market? It is pretty obvious though but at least Ford is doing something about it, right?Last week, the domestic automaker was reported to be acquiring the previously bankrupt Daewoo assembly plant in Romania. But today, Ford is again reported on the net as they are looking for more car workers for its facility plant in Melbourne, Australia.The US car maker announced that they are planning to produce 40,000 new four-cylinder vehicles in their Campbellfield, Melbourne plant this coming 2011. In connection to this plan, they are looking for more workers to work on this particular project. These workers will be responsible for making fuel pumps, headlights and many other car parts.Most of these cars are expected to be sold in the Aussie car market but some will also reach New Zealand as well as South Africa.

Ford Motor Company?s 2007 Annual Meeting Shareholders Voting Results
2007-05-15 09:55:00 In a big company like Ford, every one is entitled with the right to express his/her own initiatives, the right to choose independently, and the right to be heard by the people. And I think this is one reason why companies are progressive because they never stand alone.Take for example a Volvo V70 model, it won?t run a mile without the significant role played by small or major V70 parts or its Volvo fuel pumps, right? But with the best and reliable auto parts, expect that it?ll endure a thousand mile drive across the borders. This is a lot like the companies - its all about teamwork and unity. And in this sense, voting results have been officially in during the 2007 Annual Meeting Shareholders of Ford Motor Company. Check this out!The votes are finally in!

Ford Motors Connects to Loyal Customers Via NASCAR
2007-04-16 15:48:00 Ford's market share among race fans is 46 percent higher than its share among non-race fans.April 15, 2007 (By Robert Musial, FCN) -- Ford's affiliation with NASCAR goes back to 1949 when the first Grand National race at Charlotte Speedway was won by Jim Roper -- in a Lincoln.Since then, Ford brands have crossed NASCAR's finish lines first nearly 600 times. Even Plymouth racing legend Richard Petty earned nine checkered flags in a Ford in 1969 while Dale Earnhardt drove a Ford into victory lane three times between 1982 and 1983 before switching to Chevy.The publicity from such racing victories and the sales that result from them are incalculable. That's why supporting NASCAR's Craftsman Truck Series, the Busch Series and the Nextel Cup is a no-brainer, said Kevin Kennedy, public affairs manager, Ford Racing.It seems the old axiom, "Race on Sunday, sell on Monday," still works when it comes to NASCAR. Each week, their races attract 75 million fans, second only in the U.S. to the...
