Stellantis is seriously considering closing its assembly plant in Brampton, Ontario, and possibly selling the site, according to the Canadian auto union Unifor. Unifor president Lana Payne says the company is mulling options, including closure and a sale.
The Brampton plant has been idled since 2023. The Globe and Mail reports that production was paused following U.S. tariffs, which affected operations. Other outlets similarly describe the facility as idle and focus on the union’s account of Stellantis reviewing next steps.
While the outlets vary slightly in emphasis—some foreground “closure,” others mention a “sale”—they align on the core point that the Brampton plant is not currently producing and that Unifor says Stellantis is evaluating whether to shut it down permanently or dispose of it. The reports attribute the information to the union rather than Stellantis directly, and they do not provide further details on timelines or the outcome of any review.
