Vauxhall's Luton factory, which operated for 120 years, has officially closed, marking the end of an era for the region. The last Vivaro van was produced on March 28, leading to the potential loss of 1,100 jobs, although some positions may transition to Stellantis's Ellesmere Port plant. Stellantis has committed to supporting affected employees during this transition, including relocation assistance and job fairs. The closure is seen as a considerable blow to the local community, sparking expressions of anger and heartbreak from local leaders and affected workers alike.
Closing the factory has put 1,100 jobs at risk, with only a few hundred roles moving to the Ellesmere Port plant as part of consolidation.
Vauxhall's factory in Luton, after 120 years of operation, ceased production of the Vivaro van, as Stellantis shifts toward consolidating operations.
