Now that you’ve read about the Nissan Almera (click here if you have not), here’s a look at the place where the Almera is currently being made. The building you are looking at is called Tan Chong Motor Assemblies and it is located in Serendah.
The plant was opened in 2007 and consists of five main parts – the paint shop (11,700 sqm), the body shop (1,500 sqm), trim/chassis (22,950 sqm), logistics (14,000 sqm) and a 1.5 km test track. In 2009, the factory was awarded the ISO 9001:2000 for Quality Management Systems (QMS) and ISO 14001:2004 for Environmental Management Systems (EMS).
As of writing, the total workforce in the plant consists of 1,575 employees, of which about 80% of the workforce is working on the factory floor in various departments. New recruits will have to undergo a one-week training to familiarise themselves with the nuts, bolts and tools they will be working with. Fail the training and the recruit will have to undergo the same procedure until he or she makes the grade.
Currently the plant has the capability to produce 15, 294 vehicles per year when working on a single shift. When there is a need for it, the plant can stretch its capacity to produce 54,400 vehicles per year. Plans for expansion are already in motion. By 2014, the plant will be capable of producing a maximum of 122,400 units per year.
The vehicles that are made here include Latio, Latio Sports, Grand Livina, X-Gear, Sylphy, Teana and the NV200. The Almera is the latest addition to the assembly line.

i was an intern there years ago!!!
hye chia.. how long to build 1 xtrail car?
Let me share my unfortunate love story about my new Grand Livina. On my 2nd day after delivery, the speed sensor unit became faulty – it unlocks and locks itself automatically at every traffic light. My GL was stuck in the workshop for 4 days as they have not encountered such an issue before. When it came out, the central locking system pula became faulty and ended up 1 day in the workshop again. A car that is barely driven for 24-hours ended-up in the workshop for almost a week. Only consolation is that they offered me a courtesy car to use!
what car they offered u?
if GT-R i also want to spoil my nissan car
You have to consider yourself having a good luck with that offering of a courtesy car!
They loaned an X-Trail BUT my grouse is what happened to their PDI??? Worst is that the 3rd brake light cover latch was broken – it was rattling!! I even wrote a complaint email to the Executive Director but as am a nobody, apa reply pun tarak!
such a big plant, but cant even deliver a teana in 2 weeks time..sucks!
Teana is assembled in Thailand…WTF big plant of Tan Chong in Serendah doing? let the Thai whores to assemble the Teana?
I already decided to boycott all Nissan cars due to the statement from their leader claiming if car prices come down, the dealers will lose money, gomen will lose billions in revenue bla bla bla..so pro BN
Is this a half baked story published way too early?
I am expecting much longer story, brief intro on the body shop, paint shop, testing method, etc…
