Brampton Assembly
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brampton Assembly is a DaimlerChrysler automobile factory in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. The factory was opened by American Motors in 1986 as Bramalea Assembly, a state-of-the-art facility specifically designed to produce the Eagle Premier. It was acquired (along with the rest of AMC) by Chrysler in August 1987. Production of the Chrysler LH platform cars began in June 1992 and continued with the updated LH cars in 1997. Production switched to the rear-wheel drive Chrysler LX platform cars in January 2004. The nearby Brampton Satellite Stamping plant which opened in 1991, was built for the launch of the Chrysler LH platform. Brampton Assembly currently runs 3 shifts of production. It is the city of Brampton's largest employeer, with over 4200 people working there.

[edit] AMC
The current DaimlerChrysler factory is not the same as a nearby AMC plant which shared the same name. It opened in 1960 by AMC and was shut down in 1992 by Chrysler. It produced Rambler Americans, Rebels, Hornets, Gremlins and Eagles. It also produced the Jeep CJ and Wrangler vehicles.
