The carmaker says the closure of two plants and the loss of 1,200 jobs are because of production losses and the small market. “Manufacturing is not viable for Ford in Australia for the longer term,” said Chief Executive of Ford Australia Bob Graziano. “Our locally made products continue to be unprofitable, while our imported products continue to be profitable.” Analysts estimate the company has approximately $580 million in losses in the last fiscal year, and profit fell by 72 percent. Ford’s decision in Australia follows effort to also close shop in Europe. Graziano told reporters, Australian production was no longer sustainable as it was double the costs of Europe and quadruple the costs in Asia. The average hourly manufacturing salary in Australia in 2011 was $46.29, slightly lower than in Germany but 30 percent higher than the US and…arrow_forward
