True but there are some suppliers that do manufacture for both and will effect Ford if they close due to Holden closing up and effecting volumes.
But seeing Holden imports alot more components now than before the VE the effect on local suppliers will be alot less
It truly is tough times for the Automotive industry not only in the States but also here. Just today we lost around 10 people through redunancies at my plant and there are more to go by the end of April. This is the same for our other plants in Victoria and NSW. We supply components for Ford and Toyota.
