Stellantis will pause production at its Mulhouse plant from Oct 27 to Nov 2, affecting 2,000 employees, due to challenging European market conditions.
MEUDON, France (Reuters) -Stellantis <STLAM.MI> will temporarily halt production at its plant in Mulhouse, in northeastern France, from October 27 to November 2, a union and the carmaker said on Tuesday.
The move will affect about 2,000 of the 4,700 employees who work at the plant, which makes two Peugeot models, the 308 and the 408, and one DS model, the DS7
The company said the step was being taken to adjust the production rate to a "difficult" European market and to manage inventories as efficiently as possible before the end of the year.
Stellantis had previously said it would temporarily halt production at its plants in Poissy, near Paris, and in Pomigliano, close to the Italian town of Naples, from end-September for up to three weeks due to weak market demand in Europe.

Production rate refers to the speed at which goods are manufactured. It is crucial for companies to adjust their production rates based on market demand to manage inventory effectively.
Market demand is the total quantity of a product or service that consumers are willing and able to purchase at various prices during a given time period.
Inventory management is the process of ordering, storing, and using a company's inventory. It ensures that the right amount of products is available to meet customer demand without overstocking.
