"41 YEARS. GREATEST PRODUCTS ARE BUILT BY PEOPLE DEVOTED TO EXCELLENCE" 🇲🇽 ​That is how long Ruben Villa dedicated his hands, his mind, and his heart to the General Motors Ramos Engine Plant. He started on March 29, 1985, and walked out the doors for the last time as a retiree on June 19, 2026. ​You don't survive and thrive in this industry for over four decades without three things: unshakeable dedication, relentless effort, and an uncompromising commitment to quality. Ruben embodies the very backbone of what has made Mexican automotive manufacturing a world-class powerhouse for GM. ​I had the distinct honor of working alongside Ruben during my time as Group Leader Quality at Gen5 Engine. Whenever the pressure was on, he was the guy you wanted on the line. He was always ready to help, and his knowledge of process quality was second to none. He didn't just build engines; he built our reputation. ​Ruben, thank you for the decades of grit and excellence. Enjoy your well-earned retirement. You’ve earned every bit of it. ​#Leadership #AutomotiveManufacturing #GeneralMotors #Retirement #QualityFirst #RamosArizpe #GMdeMexico #BIQIV #RamosEngine
