Stellantis has announced the sale of its Brampton, Ontario assembly plant to Canadian defense manufacturer Roshel, following a breakdown in negotiations with the union representing over 9,000 workers. The plant, which has been idle since 2023, was initially intended to produce the Jeep Compass but was later shifted to the United States. The Canadian government, including Industry Minister Mélanie Joly, was reportedly aware of the sale process, which is expected to conclude by the end of 2026. The sale has led to the layoff of more than 2,200 workers.
