industry – Production of the Ineos Grenadier 4×4 in Hambach (Moselle), largely inspired by the legendary Land Rover Defender, will be temporarily suspended in the coming days due to a problem with the supply of seats, manufactured in Germany
It overcomes all obstacles, but not shortages. Production of the Grenadier 4×4 from Ineos in Hambach (Moselle), largely inspired by the legendary Land Rover Defender, will be temporarily suspended in the coming days.
The reason? A “supply failure from a supplier” of seats, announced the group of British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe on Thursday, confirming information from local media. According to an internal source at the company who requested anonymity, a partial unemployment measure will affect all production employees “from Monday”. A spokesperson for Ineos confirmed that there would be “rapidly a temporary suspension of production” of the Grenadier.
