General Motors initiated a temporary production halt at its Ramos Arizpe complex in Coahuila, Mexico, citing scheduled maintenance.
The extended 20-day stoppage is longer than typical year-end pauses. It began this week and will continue until after January 4, 2026.
The halt is anticipated to impact 25,000 to 35,000 workers across the regional automotive sector in Mexico.
The shutdown occurs as the broader Mexican auto industry prepares for a potential second wave of nearshoring investments anticipated after 2027. No market reaction analysis related to this specific shutdown was immediately available.
