Many insider sources have said that General Motors Co. will proceed with closing the Opel plant in Antwerp.
Ever since GM decided not to sell Vauxhall/Opel, the fate of the plant has been under review and its 2,300 workers were hoping for a stay of execution. GM wants to reduce its European capacity by around one-fifth, shaving off 8,000 jobs in all.
A source said that Opel CEO Nick Reilly has announced that the Antwerp plant will be shut down.
However, last Tuesday, a GM Europe spokesman had said that no final decision on the Antwerp factory has been made. [via autocar]
