Story summary

Automaker Stellantis and Canadian armoured vehicle maker Roshel Inc. have finalized an agreement for Roshel to purchase Stellantis's idled Brampton assembly plant, though the financial details remain undisclosed. The deal follows Stellantis's earlier decision in September to potentially sell the facility to Roshel. In October, Unifor, representing Stellantis autoworkers, voted overwhelmingly with 97.3% support for a strike mandate if necessary. The Brampton plant had previously been planned for retooling to produce Jeep vehicles but was later abandoned in favor of U.S.-based production, leading to its current idle state.
