context_page_description: Batavia Transmission was a transmission factory owned by Ford Motor Company in Batavia, Ohio. The plant opened on July 24, 1980, and closed in September 2008. The plant produced front-wheel drive transmissions for Ford, Mercury, and Mazda vehicles. The facility is now used as University of Cincinnati Clermont College's UC East Campus.
context_section_description: The plant assembled the final CD4E Transmission on Friday, June 20, 2008. Production of service parts continued at the plant through the middle of September 2008. The closing was part of Ford's "The Way Forward" plan, with some workers transferring to Ford's Sharonville Transmission Plant.
  In July 2009, Industrial Asset Recycling LLC (IAR), Shelby Township, Michigan, which specializes in areas of Asset Recycling and Environmental Remediation, contracted with Ford Motor Company to Refurbish and prepare the facility for future tenants.
  The next year, University of Cincinnati Clermont College opened a satellite campus, called UC East, in the administrative offices of the former plant.
  The building is now also partially owned by Huhtamäki.
  GE Aviation - On Wing Support has a tooling warehouse and machine shop as well.
