Zr.ru – Kaluga based PSA Peugeot Citroen and Mitsubishi (PSMA) car factory will stop production between 23 February – 9 March. The factory has stated technical maintenance and equipment installation as the reasons behind the suspension to production.
However, the sectoral experts agree that the decision has been taken as a result of falling sales in consecutive months. As one may remember, the factory had previously suspended production on two occasions, between 17 December – 11 January and 29 January – 2 February.
PSMA Kaluga factory had commenced operations in April 2010. The factory’s current annual production capacity is 125,000 automobiles.
