In a major win for American manufacturing, Stellantis has announced that it will be making significant investments in its operations in the U.S., further reinforcing its commitment to American workers and production. The parent company of Dodge, Jeep, and Chrysler, has announced it is bringing 1,500 jobs back to its Illinois plant from Canada.
The automaker is set to produce a new mid-sized pickup in Illinois, while the next-generation Dodge Durango will be built at its Detroit complex. The announcement comes just days after a meeting with President Donald Trump, signaling what many are calling the beginning of a manufacturing resurgence under his leadership.
The move is expected to have a ripple effect across the auto industry and bring renewed economic energy to the Midwest. The automaker plans to construct a new midsize pickup truck at its previously closed Belvidere, Illinois, facility, as detailed in an internal memo seen by Bloomberg.
In 2023, Stellantis committed to constructing a new $3.2 billion battery plant and investing $1.5 billion in Belvidere to produce new midsize trucks by 2027. However, these plans were postponed in August. On Wednesday, the Italian-American automaker reassured employees through a memo that it would proceed with these investments.
