Ford Motor Company has decided to introduce the third shift at its subsidiary plant in Russian town Vsevolozhsk, Leningrad region to satisfy high demand for its vehicles.
The number of the plant employees will be increased by 410 people, and the plant will be able to produce 24,000 Ford vehicles per year.

"Due to introducing the third shift we will be able to reduce the time when the customers wait for their orders", said President for Ford in Russia Henry Nenzen. "This strategic decision will allow the company to reach the new level of development in Russian market. We offer good choice of vehicles and vehicle insurance policies to our Russian companies, along with cheap service and possibility to purchase vehicles on credit. The crediting program for purchasing Ford Focus produced in Russia is one of the most attractive ones because of its low interest rate - 4.9 percent and the possibility
for vehicle insurance on credit."
