Stellantis is set to temporarily halt operations at its major Melfi plant in southern Italy from next week due to shortages of various parts, including semiconductors, a union representative said on Wednesday.
The automaker confirmed the plant would stop operations from June 6-11 because of the chip shortage, a spokesman for the automaker told Reuters.
The new stoppage, which affects nearly all of Melfi’s over 7,000 workers, adds to a holiday period already scheduled for most of the automakers’ operations in the country starting on Thursday with Italy’s Republic Day.
