AM General — the headquarters

1986 – TODAY

What is in South Bend, and what is not: AM General's corporate headquarters stands at 105 N. Niles Avenue, South Bend — the address on the company's own releases — where it came in February 1990, the headquarters having moved to South Bend from Livonia in 1986, on the Tribune's record. The vehicles the company is known for are built in Mishawaka, a separate city, whose production record is boundary-printed in this build's Military section and not repeated here; the South Bend fact is the headquarters and the engineering and program work a headquarters holds. Its documented present is pointed at the same future the Military section closes on: on 14 October 2025 the company announced a collaboration with Carnegie Robotics and Textron Systems on autonomous and unmanned ground vehicles — the line the South Bend Tribune's 2026 account of 169 years of the city's military-vehicle production closes with, in its words, "AM General's future Unmanned Ground Vehicles." The entry stands at this size deliberately: the headquarters is a real and continuing technology employer of the city; the claim made for it here is exactly the one the record carries.
