Stellantis to Halt Poissy Production for Three Weeks in October

The company says the pause will help manage stocks in a difficult European market.

Overview

  • The suspension runs from October 13 to 31 and was communicated to employee representatives at an extraordinary CSE meeting.
  • About 2,000 employees will be placed on technical unemployment for the duration of the stoppage.
  • Poissy, the last vehicle assembly site in Île-de-France, builds DS3 and Opel Mokka models at roughly 30 vehicles per hour.
  • Stellantis frames the move as a temporary adjustment to weaker demand and declined to provide further operational details.
  • The break covers 15 working days combining 12 days of partial unemployment with three pre‑planned leave days, with training and site work scheduled during the pause.
