Stellantis was recently discovered to be in debt to MacLean-Fogg, which led to the suspension of the supply of vehicle components. Now the multinational automotive manufacturing corporation is facing another problem, a labor strike at plants in France and the UK.

After Stellantis announced its intention to move production from France and the UK to Poland, workers in three factories went on strike, forcing Stellantis to temporarily suspend production. The reason is the suspension of the delivery of components from the MA France factory.

In 2014, PSA shut down production at the MA France factory, and in 2021 this factory was taken over by Stellantis (formed by the merger of the Italian-American conglomerate Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and the French PSA Group). This factory produces components that are sent to two plants in France and a plant in the UK where Stellantis cars are assembled.

In France, Stellantis produces the DS 3 and Opel Moka models at the Poissy plant, while the Hordain plant assembles the Peugeot Expert, Citroen Jump, Opel Vivaro and commercial vehicles. The factory in Luton produces Vauxhall commercial vehicles and from 2025 it will produce mid-range electric vans for Opel/Vauxhall, Citroen, Peugeot and Fiat.
