A factory jointly owned by General Motors (GM.N) and LG Energy Solution (373220.KS) in northeast Ohio is scheduled to restart production of battery cells next week after a seven-month shutdown.
On Monday, a majority of laid-off workers will resume making batteries at the Ultium Cells joint-venture plant, Tom Gallagher, vice president of operations for Ultium, said in an interview.
In total, 1,400 will be working at the facility.
The company ceased battery-cell production there in January because of a drop in consumer demand for electric vehicles.
