The North plant, by then known as the GM North Fabrication plant making metal and plastic parts, was sold to Peregrine, Inc. in 1996. It was then sold to ACSYS Technologies Inc. in 2001. Both companies continued to operate as an auto parts manufacturer supplying GM. ACSYS closed the plant in 2004. The North plant ended all operations in 2005 and the last of it was demolished by 2006.

Ford built the factory and sold it to the US government, which leased it back to Ford for the duration of WWII. Ford Motor had first option on the plant after war production ended, an option it ultimately chose not to exercise. The factory was instead leased and then sold to Kaiser-Frazer and was their main production site from 1946 to 1953, when they moved production to Toledo, OH following Kaiser-Frazer's acquisition of Toledo-based Willys-Overland. In addition to automobiles, Kaiser-Frazer also built C-119 Flying Boxcar cargo planes at Willow Run under license from Fairchild Aircraft, producing an estimated 88 C-119s between 1951 and 1953.

In addition to automatic transmissions, GM also produced the M16A1 rifle and the M39A1 20mm autocannon for the US military during the Vietnam War at Willow Run Transmission. GM Powertrain also had an on-site engineering center. The plant closed in December 2010. A small portion of the plant was saved by the Yankee Air Museum but more than 95% of the plant was demolished from 2013 to 2014. The site has been redeveloped into the American Center for Mobility, an autonomous- and connected-driving testing center. | |
