1. Talks with automakers
Roshel is discussing civilian vehicle production with several automakers at the idled manufacturing plant in Brampton, Canada, CEO Roman Shimanov said. Roshel announced on Monday that it was acquiring the plant from Stellantis for an undisclosed amount.
2. Staffing plans
Stellantis closed the plant in 2023 for retooling and paused work in 2025 before moving future Jeep Compass production to a factory in Illinois after U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on Canadian goods. Shimanov said Roshel might not retain Stellantis employees but would prioritize them in future hiring, adding that Roshel was not taking over previous commitments.
