Stellantis Clinches Deal to Sell Canadian Factory to Defense Firm
By Paul Vieira
OTTAWA--Stellantis finalized a deal Monday to sell a Toronto-area factory to armored-car maker Roshel as the auto maker focuses on revamping its industrial output.
The transaction, should it close as anticipated by the end of the year, would bring an end to car manufacturing at the Brampton, Ontario factory, which has emerged as a flashpoint in the U.S.-Canada trade tensions. It is also likely to trigger a possible strike threat from Unifor, which said the factory's uncertain future has triggered an impasse in talks on a new collective agreement.
"We are driving forward our broader strategic goals, opening new opportunities for Stellantis in the defence industry, and creating a path to return the Brampton facility to productive industrial use," Stellantis Chief Executive Antonio Filosa said in a statement.
