Stellantis has officially signed an agreement with defence contractor Roshel to sell its Brampton, Ontario assembly plant. The automaker will transfer the facility and related equipment to Roshel for an undisclosed sum. In addition to the sale, the companies are exploring potential future collaborations in vehicle technologies and related defense services.
This announcement follows contract negotiations between Stellantis and the Unifor union, which represent over 9,000 Canadian workers. The two parties have been unable to reach an agreement on the future of the Brampton site. Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa stated that the company is committed to finding a fair resolution with Unifor and that the sale provides a path for the plant to be put back into productive use.
