里程碑时刻：AAM 全球总部

在底特律汽车工业中心附近，有一家充满活力、技术先进的工厂。在这里，创新与世界上一些最大的汽车制造商实现了无缝融合。这里就是 AAM 的全球总部 (WHQ) — 一个将创意变为现实的地方，一个以精准和激情引领全球运营的地方。继续阅读以了解有关 AAM 全球总部的历史和核心要素的更多信息。

于 2004 年竣工的 AAM WHQ 不仅仅是一座普通的办公楼，更是全球运营的神经中枢。该设施占地 250,000 平方英尺，高 7 层，体现了 AAM 对质量、技术领先和卓越运营的承诺。该总部旨在将 AAM 的许多公司部门整合到一个位置，以提高组织效率。过去，公司行政人员和高管分散在旧底特律园区的几栋建筑中。这一中心位置简化了业务流程，改善了整个组织的协作。

WHQ 战略性地靠近许多主要客户，除了提供世界一流的产品和技术外，它在确保出色的沟通和响应能力方面发挥着至关重要的作用。这种接近有助于我们与客户保持密切联系，以提供高水平的服务和支持，这在快节奏的汽车行业中是必不可少的。

该建筑是现代工程的杰出典范。总部大楼由 2,000 吨结构钢建成，并铺设了约 10,000 平方英尺的大理石地板，既坚固又耐用。30 多间会议室和协作空间遍布各处，助力营造团队合作的文化氛围。大楼还设有一个可举办大型活动的礼堂和一个咖啡厅，是相关人员交流和恢复活力的中心。

这个地标的创建并非易事。我们花了 24 个月的时间和超过 500,000 个工时才将愿景变为现实。总部占地达六英亩，其间铺展着 9000 码的葱郁草皮，挺立着大约 500 棵树木和灌木。这里，既是 AAM 与底特律深厚联系的生动象征，亦是其汽车技术前瞻性的有力彰显。

世界遗产中心与底特律校区，为底特律的振兴之路添砖加瓦，为其经济增长贡献了巨大力量。通过创造就业机会、支持当地企业和投资社区计划，AAM 一直是该市复兴的关键参与者。这座建筑生动地彰显了我们对员工、客户以及社区的坚定承诺。
