Japan’s Mitsubishi Motors Corp said Tuesday it will close down its unprofitable factory in Australia, laying off 930 workers, as it struggles to compete against lower cost plants in other countries.
The company blamed a waning appetite for large cars like the ‘380’ sedan produced by the factory in the southern city of Adelaide.
The plant makes only about 10,000 cars per year despite having a capacity for 30,000. The factory employs 1,164 people and a total of 930 will lose their jobs, the company said.
Mitsubishi Motors promised ‘very favourable separation packages’ to employees who are laid-off and to work with the Australian government to provide retraining and other support. ‘It is an inescapable fact that there is now a deepening trend away from large cars,’
Mitsubishi Motors Australia chief executive Rob McEniry said in a statement. ‘We see no path for a return to viable production levels of the 380 sedan or a commercial case for developing any replacement production,’ he said.
McEniry broke the news of the closure to workers at a meeting in the plant, which Mitsubishi started in 1980 after buying it from Chrysler. ‘Rob McEniry spoke to the workers; it was very emotional,’ Australian Manufacturing Workers Union state secretary John Camillo told reporters.
Three carmakers now produce vehicles in Australia following Mitsubishi’s decision: Holden, a subsidiary of General Motors, Toyota Motor Corp. and the Ford Motor Co.
Mitsubishi’s Adelaide operations have become increasingly unprofitable in part due to the sharp rise in the Australian dollar, which makes it cheaper for Australians to buy imports.
وخلاصته ان متسيوبيشي ستغلق معملها باستراليا بسبب ارتفاع سعر صرف الدولار الاسترالي والذي يجعل استيراد السيارات ارخص. على العموم من الموضوع اكتشفت ان السيارات التي تصنعها متسيوبيشي في استراليا هي سيارة اسمها 380 وهي تطوير للماغنا. والموقع يكول ان استراليا تستورد مجموعة من سيارات متسيوبيشي من اليابان وعلى رأس القائمة الباجيرو واعتقد هذا يأكد ان الباجيو ياباني 100%.
The Tonsley Park plant assembles the
mid-size Mitsubishi 380 sedan, which is based on the ninth generation
Mitsubishi Galant with major modifications to tailor the vehicle to the Australian market. The remainder of the range that MMAL sells into the Australian market is imported from
Japan (
Colt,
Pajero,
Grandis,
Lancer,
Express,
Outlander, and
Challenger) and
Thailand (
Triton 4x4).
