Lincoln Mercury To Relocate Headquarters To Michigan
IRVINE, Calif. - Ford Motor Company announced that Lincoln Mercury is relocating its world headquarters from Irvine, Calif. to Dearborn, Mich. in summer 2003.
| "As a part of Ford Motor Company's North American
Consumer Business Group, Lincoln Mercury is now closely aligned with
Ford Division, sharing back-end functions and many dealers
nationally," said Jim O'Connor, Ford Motor Company group vice
president for North America Marketing, Sales and Service. "For
the long-term benefit of Lincoln Mercury, it makes good business
sense to collocate with Ford Division in Dearborn. " . |

employees of the move during a "Town Hall" meeting today.
The first wave of employees is expected to move in July, after the
conclusion of the school year, with the final move in August. About

Mercury.

"Lincoln Mercury plays a key role in the product-led transformation of Ford Motor Company," said Hazel. "There's an all-new showroom for Lincoln and a strong stable of Mercury products that will be followed by four new products in the next four years. A move will bring Lincoln Mercury to the heart of Ford Motor Company where we'll tap into synergies to grow both brands."
Ford Motor Company will maintain a strong presence in California, including: The Lincoln Mercury Design Studio, the North American Headquarters of the Premier Automotive Group, Mazda North American Headquarters and the California Regional Sales Office.
