Project:
Complete Paint Shop

Gallagher-Kaiser (GK) was contracted to provide a turn-key paint shop for General Motors at the Orion Assembly Plant. The finished product is the most technologically advanced paint shop in the world and has won international awards.

First, the existing paint shop was demolished. Then, a new state-of-the-art paint shop was installed in the existing building shell. The installation portion of the project started in 2010 and was completed 12 months later, in February of 2011. This installation time stands as one of the fastest ever for a complete paint shop.

The GM Orion Paint Shop established Gallagher-Kaiser as one of only a handful of companies capable of executing a complete turn-key paint shop for a major automotive manufacturer.
