Stellantis stamping plants ramp up to support production
Tap title to read story
Warren, Michigan. Stellantis is increasing output at two Metro Detroit stamping plants in Warren and Sterling Heights this week, producing body panels and components for Jeep, Dodge and Ram models; the Sterling Heights facility is reported at 2.7 million square feet and operates around the clock to supply North American assembly plants.
The increased stamping production this week supports assembly operations including the Warren Truck Assembly Plant, Windsor facilities and Mexican plants that build minivans, pickups and the Jeep Grand Wagoneer; the plants had previously experienced job cuts and morale challenges, and the current output shift aims to strengthen the automaker’s North American supply chain in the near term.
