Where do Chevy parts come from?

Chevy parts primarily come from General Motors’ global supply chain: GM-operated plants in North America plus a broad network of suppliers around the world.

Chevrolet relies on a mix of in-house manufacturing, regional partnerships, and tier-one suppliers to produce the parts used in its vehicles. The origin of a given part depends on the model, market, and regulatory requirements, with local production emphasized to reduce cost and lead times where possible.

GM manufacturing footprint

Chevy components originate from GM-operated facilities and a wide network of suppliers. The majority of final assembly and many major components are produced in North America, while regional plants and international partnerships support models sold outside the United States and Canada.

• GM-operated powertrain and manufacturing facilities that produce engines, transmissions, stamping, and other core components used by Chevrolet.


• Vehicle assembly plants in North America (United States, Canada, Mexico) that assemble Chevrolets using parts from GM and suppliers.


• Regional manufacturing sites and joint ventures outside North America that supply region-specific components and assemble models for local markets.


• Global Tier 1 suppliers that design and manufacture electronics, interiors, braking systems, and other modules used across Chevrolet vehicles.

Together, these networks provide the parts that go into Chevrolet vehicles, reflecting GM's global manufacturing strategy and its emphasis on localization and resilience in supply chains.

Global sourcing and how parts travel

Chevrolet's parts move through a multi-layer supply chain that spans continents—origin can be tied to the country of manufacture, the regional plant, or the supplier location. Logistics involve shipments to distribution centers, then to assembly plants or dealerships, with some components produced closer to the final assembly point to reduce lead times.

• Parts flow from Tier 1 suppliers to GM distribution centers, then to assembly plants or regional warehouses.


• Regionalization of components means some items are made to meet local market regulations and preferences.


• GM maintains logistics networks and contracts with freight and forwarding partners to move parts efficiently worldwide.

This structure balances efficiency with the need to adapt to local markets and regulatory environments, while maintaining GM's global supply chain capabilities.

Tracing the origin of a Chevy part

To verify where a part came from, you can use several clues embedded in the product identifiers and packaging:

1. Check the part label(s) and packaging for a country of origin or assembly location.


2. Look up the GM Part Number (PN) or catalog number to see supplier or plant data associated with the item.


3. Use the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and service documents to match parts to a specific production region or plant.


4. Ask your dealer or GM Parts Customer Service for a sourcing report or origin confirmation.

Note that many components may include parts from multiple regions, and some assemblies are built from mixed-origin parts while still meeting GM's quality and regulatory standards.

What "Made in USA" means for Chevy parts

Labels like “Made in USA” typically indicate that the final assembly occurred in the United States and a substantial portion of the components originated domestically. In practice, many Chevrolet parts include subcomponents sourced internationally, so the origin can be a blend even for a final-assembly country. For customers seeking localization, GM often sources to local supply bases to reduce costs and lead times for regional models.

Summary

Chevy parts come from a global, multi-tier network that combines GM-owned manufacturing, regional partnerships, and a broad base of suppliers. The exact origin varies by component and model, with a general emphasis on North American production for U.S.–market Chevrolets and regional sourcing for international models. Consumers can glean origin information from packaging, part numbers, and dealer records, while GM’s logistics system keeps parts flowing efficiently to meet demand around the world.

What percentage of Chevy parts are made in the USA?

Chevrolet trucks are manufactured in North and Central America, with a minimum of 50 percent of each truck's components originating from the United States. For example, the Chevy Colorado is assembled in Wentzville, Missouri, near St. Louis, with 71 percent of its parts sourced from the U.S. or Canada.

Are Chevy parts made in China?

In the United States, 38 American companies and GMC-owned facilities make Chevy parts. As you might guess, most genuine OEM Chevy parts are made in the US at facilities in Michigan. Any foreign-made parts are largely found in electronics or vehicle interior spaces.

Who makes parts for Chevy?

General Motors (GM) makes Chevrolet parts, with both GM Genuine Parts and ACDelco producing components like engines, radiators, and fuel injectors. While many parts are manufactured by GM in the U.S. and other countries, GM also works with a global network of partners in places like Mexico, South Korea, and Japan.
 
GM's own parts divisions

• GM Genuine Parts: These are the original equipment (OE) parts that were installed in the vehicle during production or are validated by GM for its vehicles.
• ACDelco: This is another line of parts that provides both OE-equivalent (Gold line) and high-quality aftermarket parts (Silver line) for GM vehicles and other makes and models. 

How GM produces parts

• In-house manufacturing: GM operates its own facilities for producing certain components. For example, its Tonawanda Propulsion plant in New York builds engines. 
• Global partnerships: To support its global market, GM partners with companies in various countries to manufacture parts. These include partners in Mexico, South Korea, France, Japan, Canada, and Brazil. 
• Regional sourcing: GM reportedly prioritizes sourcing parts from within the same region where the vehicles are built to streamline production. 

Where does Chevy get its parts from?

Chevy parts are made in a global network of facilities, with many core components produced in the U.S., particularly in Michigan. However, parts also come from international partners in countries including Mexico, Japan, South Korea, Canada, Brazil, and others. Electronic and interior parts are commonly sourced from international suppliers. 
United States

• A significant number of parts, especially heavy-duty items, are manufactured by GM-owned facilities and 38 other U.S. companies, many located in Michigan. 
• Examples of U.S. manufacturing hubs include factories in Flint, Michigan (sheet metal stamping and tooling), and locations for specific models like the Corvette in Bowling Green, KY, and the Silverado 1500 in Roanoke, IN. 

International partners

• Mexico: GM partners with five Mexican companies. The Ramos Arizpe Assembly plant is a key site for vehicles like the Equinox EV and Blazer EV. 
• Japan: Four Japanese companies are part of the supply chain. 
• South Korea: Two South Korean companies supply parts. 
• Canada: Three Canadian companies are partners. The Oshawa Assembly plant in Ontario produces Silverado and Sierra trucks for the North American market. 
• Brazil: Three Brazilian companies are involved in part manufacturing. 
• Other countries: Individual partners are also located in Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Hungary, Egypt, Thailand, and India. 

Special circumstances

• China: GM has joint ventures with SAIC Motor to produce vehicles for the Chinese domestic market, but due to import tariffs, these vehicles are not sold in the U.S.
