Corvette Assembly Plant Director Kai Spande Announces His Retirement


There is always some unexpected news that breaks during the NCM Bash, and today was certainly one of those days.

Kai Spande, who has been the Corvette Assembly Plant’s director for the last eight years, announced his retirement during his annual address to Corvette enthusiasts during the Bash. Spande is taking the buyout offer that was put on the table recently, as did his wife, who is also a GM employee.

Kai’s retirement will be effective on July 31st.

When he retires, he will stay in Bowling Green as he serves out his term as chairman of the Corvette Museum’s Board of Directors which ends later this year.

GM is expected to announce his replacement on Friday morning.

From CorvetteBlogger, we’d like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Kai for his leadership during the last eight years. Kai has seen it all, from a major expansion of the plant and paint shop, to the complete retooling and reconfiguration of the assembly plant for the C8 Corvette, and finally, for getting us through the tornado strike that hit the plant in December 2021. We also appreciate your friendship and look forward to being able to hang out with you at future NCM events as a civilian.
