Stellantis Vows to Keep Poissy Plant Open, Rules Out Mass Layoffs

A €20 million upgrade signals short‑term diversification ahead of a 2026 decision on the site’s next vehicle assignment.

Overview

  • The company told an extraordinary works council it will not close Poissy and will not launch a collective redundancy plan.
  • Production of the Opel Mokka and DS3 is confirmed at the site through 2028, with the plant employing about 2,000 workers.
  • Management announced €20 million to modernize stamping lines, which it says enables a production commitment for more than 20 years.
  • Stellantis plans to add complementary activities in the near term, including aftermarket parts manufacturing and circular‑economy operations.
  • The choice on post‑2028 automotive production will come in a strategic plan from new CEO Antonio Filosa in H1 2026, as unions welcome the investment yet press for a faster new‑model assignment.
