Introduction to BlueOval City

Ford is investing $11.4 billion to build two state-of-the art manufacturing facilities, BlueOval City in Tennessee and BlueOval SK Battery Park in Kentucky. These brand-new advanced manufacturing facilities will use Ford’s 100-years of automobile manufacturing expertise and will be among the largest automotive manufacturing campuses in U.S. history. Like the iconic Rouge complex in Michigan did a century earlier, BlueOval City will usher in a new era for American manufacturing and will harness Ford’s global manufacturing expertise and innovative technologies. BlueOval City embodies the transformational Ford+ plan for growth and value creation in combining existing strengths and new capabilities.
