Stellantis to Idle Poissy Plant for Three Weeks in October, Putting 2,000 on Partial Unemployment

The move underscores broader production cuts across European sites in response to sliding sales.

Overview

  • Production at Poissy will pause from 13 to 31 October, covering 15 workdays made up of 12 days of partial unemployment and three pre-scheduled leave days.
  • Stellantis cites a difficult European market and year-end inventory management, and says the downtime will be used for site works and training to boost performance.
  • Poissy assembles about 420 vehicles per day, including the Opel Mokka and Citroën DS3, with unions warning the pause is unprecedented and expressing fears for the plant’s future.
  • Temporary stoppages are confirmed for Pomigliano in Italy and planned days off are confirmed for Tychy in Poland, with additional closures reported for Eisenach in Germany and the Saragossa and Madrid plants in Spain.
  • Workers report pay losses of roughly €200–€240 during the stoppage, and local officials weigh the site’s industrial future alongside talks about a potential PSG stadium on Stellantis-owned land in Poissy.
