Ohio Assembly is a Ford Motor Company factory located in Avon Lake, Ohio. The 419-acre (1.70 km2) plant opened in 1974 to produce the Ford Econoline (now E-Series) van. It produced the Mercury Villager and Nissan Quest from 1993 through 2002, and the Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner until 2005. Ford E-Series production stopped at the end of 2013 as Ford replaced the E-Series with the uni-body Ford Transit, which will be produced at Ford's facility in Kansas City, MO. Starting in 2014 production of the Ford F-650 will commence.
It currently has 1,821 employees.
