Hundreds of workers laid off at Ingersoll

.

The General Motors CAMI Assembly plant in Ingersoll will shut down next month with plans to reopen in the fall at half capacity.

The company said in a statement on Apr 11 that production is coming to halt as a direct result of the market and available inventory to build the BrightDrop electric delivery vehicles manufactured at the plant.

"CAMI is making operational and employment adjustments to balance inventory and align production schedules with current demand," GM said in a statement.

"GM remains committed to the future of BrightDrop and the CAMI plant and will support employees through the transition."
