PSA Group confirms that it will cut production from two shifts to one at its factory in Ellesmere Port, England, in a bid to balance output with demand.
The move will eliminate 400 jobs at the factory, which produces Opel and Vauxhall brand Astra midsize cars for the European market. PSA also warns that the facility must improve overall efficiency to safeguard its future.
PSA, which acquired Opel/Vauxhall in August, has ensured only that the British plant will continue to operate until the current model Astra is replaced in 2021.

Shifting Landscape of Technology Is a Never-Ending Education
Brent Donaldson, Senior Editor, Modern Machine Shop and Additive Manufacturing Magazine discusses how the shifting landscape of technology that all of Gardner’s writers and editors cover is a never-ending education. If we are truly doing our jobs, we will never feel like we’ve mastered them. As I continue writing and reporting for AM and MMS, it’s easy to imagine how these technologies’ interdependency will continue to grow. It also seems clear that this kind of reporting — the kind that requires editors to experience and share new manufacturing technologies and strategies — is the kind of reporting that only Gardner can produce with any depth. I’m grateful to be part of it.
