Stellantis recently announced a $13 billion investment, largely in the Midwest.
Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa said the investment may lead to tens of thousands of jobs among suppliers.
Meanwhile, Stellantis' supply leader, Marvin Washington, said the company is attempting to fix relationships with suppliers that had previously been strained by an abrupt volume cut in 2024.
As Stellantis plans to pump $13 billion into its U.S. operations, the company's director of purchasing and supplier relations said the fraught relationship between the automaker and its suppliers is changing.
Marvin Washington, vice president of global purchasing and supply chain management at Stellantis, spoke Tuesday, Oct. 15, on a panel about the automotive supply chain at the Rainbow PUSH Global Automotive Summit
