The 4,000 or more production team members at HMMA have continuously demonstrated excellence in quality, safety, delivery, attendance, and other internal criteria that the firm uses to make sure every car manufactured satisfies its exacting requirements.
“We are paying our team members appropriately because they are the best in the business,” stated José Muñoz, president and COO of Hyundai Motor Company’s global operations as well as the president and CEO of Hyundai and Genesis Motor North America.
