DiPietro says ACH, a Ford subsidiary, has invested more than $24 million in new equipment in Saline this year. When it was created in 2005, ACH was supposed to exist just long enough to sell Ford's former parts plants to new owners. DePietro says that's still the long-term plan for the Saline facility. But in the meantime, the company is maintaining production for Ford--and hoping the new work and investment will eventually make the plant more attractive to prospective buyers. ![]()
