The Unifor trade union says Stellantis admitted it is considering closing and selling Brampton site. Ontario plant previously built Dodge Chargers but hasn’t produced a new vehicle since 2023. Plans to build the Jeep compass there were scrapped in 2025 and production moved to Illinois. Brampton’s silent assembly plant could soon get a For Sale sign.
