Stellantis signs MOU with Roshel on potential sale of Brampton plant
TORONTO — Automaker Stellantis says it has signed a memorandum of understanding with Canadian armoured vehicle maker Roshel on a potential sale of its idled Brampton, Ont., assembly plant.
Stellantis, the automaker, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Canadian armoured vehicle maker Roshel, potentially selling its idled Brampton, Ontario assembly plant. This development follows the union representing the Canadian workers at Stellantis pausing contract talks due to an impasse regarding the plant's future.
The Brampton plant had been idled since 2023. Stellantis spokesperson LouAnn Gosselin stated that the company evaluated various options for the facility, and identifies Roshel as a "strong path to restoring sustainable operations." Unifor, the union, is now actively considering the next steps and will provide further details in the days ahead.
The collective agreement between Stellantis and the union is set to expire on September 20 at 11:59 p.m., with contract talks commencing on September 1. These talks had started after Unifor ratified new collective agreements with Ford Motor Co. and General Motors in Canada during the summer, part of the company's pattern bargaining process with the Detroit Three automakers.
