Stellantis Announces U.S. Workforce Expansion and Major Manufacturing Investments
Stellantis unveils a sweeping personnel overhaul and a refreshed product strategy.
Stellantis is shifting its U.S. strategy, expanding its workforce and revising product plans as part of a major investment initiative.
The company confirmed it will hire roughly 2,000 new employees in the United States under a $13 billion investment program. The move reflects a strategic reset under newly appointed CEO Antonio Filosa, marking a departure from the direction previously set by Carlos Tavares. The hiring push spans engineering, product development, and quality control.
The U.S. market is returning to the spotlight as sales climb and manufacturing operations receive increased support. A targeted recruitment campaign is already underway, and the Chrysler tech center is regaining its central role after years of cutbacks and remote-work transitions.
Stellantis’ internal roadmap calls for the creation of at least 5,000 jobs over the long term. The initiative has received backing from labor unions, including the UAW.
The company is also revising its product strategy, adjusting its approach to electrification. The updated plan emphasizes extended-range hybrids and the revival of modern Hemi powertrains. Models such as the Jeep Cherokee and the Dodge Charger Sixpack are expected to strengthen the brands’ core identities.
