Stellantis agrees to sell its idled Brampton plant
Stellantis signed an asset purchase agreement Nov. 9 to sell the Brampton Assembly Plant in Ontario, with its equipment, to Canadian armored-vehicle maker Roshel for an undisclosed price; the two will also explore defense-industry work together. Stellantis ties the sale to its goal of roughly 80% North American capacity utilization by 2030, says it is prepared to negotiate a settlement with Unifor for represented employees, and expects the deal to close by the end of 2026, subject to government and regulatory conditions, per Stellantis.
