Ford owns and operates a large number of assembly plants across the globe, employing many thousands of workers in those same facilities, who play a big role in bringing its products to life. However, for the most part, those same workers generally only see each other while on the job, as it isn’t exactly like their family members can waltz in the plant and visit them amid all that heavy machinery. However, Ford recently kicked off its family open house events for 2024 at the Louisville Assembly plant for that very reason.
The Family Open Houses are back this summer for our @Ford employees. Love that we’ve brought back this tradition for families to look forward to! Thanks to Louisville Assembly Plant for kicking off the first of 22 Open Houses coming later this summer in the U.S. and Canada.… pic.twitter.com/trHUfJAgOu

“The Family Open Houses are back this summer for our Ford employees,” Blue Oval CEO Jim Farley wrote in a recent post on X. “Love that we’ve brought back this tradition for families to look forward to! Thanks to Louisville Assembly Plant for kicking off the first of 22 Open Houses coming later this summer in the U.S. and Canada.”
As Farley noted here, the Louisville Assembly plant is just the first of it facilities to host an open house this year, giving the families of employees there the chance to see what they do on a daily basis, as well as the building they work in. Over the course of this summer, Ford will ultimately host open houses at 22 of its plants across the U.S. and Canada, too.
Currently, the Louisville Assembly plant builds two Blue Oval products – the Ford Escape and Lincoln Corsair. However, as Ford Authority previously reported, as part of its new master contract agreement with the United Auto Workers (UAW) union inked last year, that same plant is slated to add an all-electric vehicle to its assembly line at some point before its expiration in 2028, which could be the automaker’s planned $25k all-electric crossover slated to launch in late 2026.
We’ll have more on the Louisville Assembly plant soon, so be sure and subscribe to Ford Authority for 24/7 Ford news coverage.
