MILAN (Reuters) – Stellantis will halt production next week at its key Melfi plant, in southern Italy, due to a semiconductor shortage affecting the supply of a specific component, the local head of UILM union Marco Lomio said on Friday.
“Despite some difficulties, the plant has worked regularly since mid-September, but now the chip shortage is affecting a key component, so the company was forced to stop operations,” Lomio said.
