PSA to reopen Luton plant from Monday
PSA Group will restart the manufacture of commercial vehicles as its Luton plant from Monday, 18 May.
Colin MacDonald, director of the Luton plant, said: “Since the shutdown of our site, we have implemented a reinforced health protocol on our industrial site with the support of our medical service and in close collaboration with our union partners. Thanks to this collective effort, validated by the audit that took place on 4 May, we can resume the manufacturing of the commercial vehicles on Monday, 18 May, in a progressive and safe manner.”
Yann Vincent, EVP manufacturing of Groupe PSA, said: “Protecting our employees and protecting our company remain the two intangible principles for the management of our operations. Our enhanced measures protocol offers a high level of protection to our employees and is the first criterion for restarting our manufacturing sites. As industrial activity is driven by commercial activity, which is our second criterion, we are gradually and securely relaunching our industrial system to manufacture the cars expected by our customers. These two criteria will guide our decisions for the coming weeks and months.”
