    June 5, 2014
    Ford Motor Co.'s Kansas City Assembly Plant -- known as "KCAP" -- is a 5.5 million square foot-plus facility sitting on 1,269 acres that builds both the new full-size Transit van as well as the F-150 pickup. Ford invested over $1.1 billion in recent years into KCAP to make it a major van and truck manufacturing site for the North American market. Today KCAP, staffed by some 4,878 workers, is one of Ford's largest plants worldwide.
