MONDAY, June 24 

• Congressman Miller visited and toured the Ultium Cells Warren Production Facility in Warren, Ohio to learn about the new, state-of-the-art facility that produces battery cells for GM facilities in North America. The 2.8 million-square-foot facility uses the most advanced and efficient battery cell manufacturing process and began cell production in August 2022. Ultium Cells employs 2,000 people in new high-tech jobs and has partnered with Youngstown State University to develop a career and technical education pipeline for these high-skilled positions. The Congressman was shown the facility by President & CEO Kee Eun, VP of Operations Thomas Gallagher, and UAW Local 1112 Shop Chairman Josh Ayers. The Congressman learned about how the Inflation Reduction Act is undermining American advanced manufacturing and giving Chinese battery makers an unfair advantage over American companies.
