Summary · why it matters

General Motors has established a purchasing facility of up to $4.5 billion with third-party inventory management company Procura Auto Parts to secure critical components and protect production from future supply-chain disruptions. Under the three-year arrangement, Procura will purchase and manage selected parts from suppliers, while banks including JPMorgan Chase and Santander will fund the purchases. The facility is designed to help GM maintain production during disruptions caused by natural disasters, cyberattacks or unexpected increases in demand. The move comes after COVID-19 caused major supply-chain disruptions and semiconductor shortages that forced automakers to halt production.
