Stellantis announces $388 million investment for hub in Metro Detroit
The company confirmed that the facility will be in Van Buren Township and will launch in 2027. The building will include an automated storage system called AutoStore and a retrieval system. Officials say AutoStore uses robots to retrieve and deliver parts to workstations while employees process the final shipments to enhance speed and accuracy.
The facility will have about 488 employees represented by the United Auto Workers union, the company said in a news release.
Stellantis said the latest investment is part of a "broader consolidation strategy" and builds upon the automaker's 2023 UAW contract agreements, according to a news release. The company said that under the contract agreement, it has invested $120 million to "strengthen parts and services operations." Those other investments included a new facility in East Fishkill, New York, and improvements to existing distribution centers.
The investment comes after Stellantis sold its parts distribution centers in Center Line and Marysville, Michigan, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as part of the consolidation plan. Those locations will serve under a sale-leaseback agreement amid the construction of the megahub.
Employees from the Center Line, Warren, Warren Sherwood and Milwaukee parts centers will be shifted to the new Metro Detroit hub. Meanwhile, workers from the Marysville center will be moved to the Warren and Warren Sherwood locations. Stellantis says the Warren Sherwood center will be an e-coating upfitting facility.
"Our customers count on us to deliver the right part, at the right time, every time," said Darren Bradshaw, senior vice president and head of Mopar North America, in a statement. "With the Metro Detroit Megahub, we're building a faster, smarter and more reliable parts distribution network that puts their needs first. This investment reflects our commitment to innovation, sustainability and operational excellence, while also creating a modern, high-tech workplace for our employees."
CBS News Detroit contacted the UAW for comment and is waiting for a response.

Acura Can Catch Porsche in IMSA WeatherTech Manufacturer's Chase
Now that the others have won, look for a return to a less draconian BoP for the Ferrari 499P in the WEC and Porsche in IMSA. It remains to be seen if IMSA officials have in fact balanced the performance. Hopefully, there will be a straight fight for the manufacturer title between Porsche and Acura, which trails by 90 points. After two straight victories by the Acura MSR team in the WeatherTech Championship, the interregnum is over for the Porsche Penske Motorsport team. Having been hobbled by the Balance of Performance (BoP), the Porsche team will have a chance to stand atop the podium again on Sunday after the sprint race at Road America. Urs Keratle, the director for Porsche's 963 program, said that simulations have shown the team will 'be able to compete with the others. The reality we will see in qualifying and the race.' The subtraction of weight (nine kilograms) and a 5.2% increase in Stage 2 power for the Porsches in the BoP prior to Road America reflects the current sports car racing season's pattern in both the World Endurance Championship and IMSA. The best performing cars and their teams have been heavily penalized midway in the season by BoP to open the door to other manufacturers. Now that the others have won, look for a return to a less draconian BoP for the Ferrari 499P in the WEC and Porsche in IMSA. Cadillac and its Jota team won its first WEC race in Round 5 in Brazil, where officials made it very unlikely for the Ferraris, winners of four straight races, to compete for victory. IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship Porsche 2,182 Acura 2,092 Cadillac 1,974 BMW 1,962 Aston Martin 1,439 In IMSA, each of the two Acuras entered by Jim Meyers and Michael Shank won in Detroit and Watkins Glen in part because of the BoP hampering the Porsches. Cadillac scored three podiums in those two events. Keratle suggested Porsche Penske was unable to control its own destiny. 'We are prepared to be competitive in the races if it's very well in our hands,' he said. Who stands atop the podium at Wisconsin's picturesque Elkhart Lake circuit and then celebrates at the Siebkens resort will have a significant impact on the driver and manufacturer championships for the IMSA GTP season, which has two endurance races remaining after the Motul SportsCar Grand Prix. It remains to be seen if IMSA officials have in fact balanced the performance and a straight fight for the manufacturer title will evolve between Porsche and Acura, which trails by 90 points. On the driver side, the four straight victories by Porsche Penske to open the season put its drivers in an almost unassailable position. Matt Campbell and Mathieu Jaminet, drivers of the No. 6 Porsche 963, lead teammates Nick Tandy and Felipe Nasr by 12 points after the latter two's poor result at the Glen. Acura MSR drivers Renger van der Zande and Nick Yelloly, winners in Detroit, trail the Porsche drivers by 262 points in third place. There's more to come in the manufacturers' contest after the Glen victory, said David Salters, president of Honda Racing Corporation USA. The combination of the Meyers-Shank team and engineers from the HRC factory is beginning to pay dividends. Along with driver Tom Blomqvist, they successfully executed a challenging fuel strategy to grab the victory at the Glen from the Cadillac of Action Express Racing before celebrating at the Seneca Lodge. 'We are six races into the season and we're starting to show what we're made of,' said Salters. 'It was a great weekend, but we must keep pushing.' The Acura MSR squad gained 112 points in the factory title chase with its victories. The team likely needs to win at least two of the three remaining races to overcome the 90-point gap to Porsche Penske. Where Porsche Penske has no team orders, Acura MSR can employ split strategies and concentrate on just getting one car into Victory Lane. Blomqvist, who co-drove with Colin Braun on board the No. 60 ARX-06 at the Glen, is reconciled to his team now concentrating on the manufacturers title. 'We still stand a chance in the manufacturers, which is definitely a big goal of Acura's,' said Blomqvist. 'So, we haven't given up there, having won the last two events. Obviously, only one of the team's cars gets points for that. I think ultimately that's probably what we're going to focus on more than the drivers' title. Let's see.'

Why Casella Waste Systems Stock Flopped on Friday
Key Points The company's bottom-line miss in its second quarter was striking. That was compounded by a guidance reduction for full-year profitability. 10 stocks we like better than Casella Waste Systems › Solid waste and recycling management company Casella Waste Systems (NASDAQ: CWST) was surely eager to start its weekend. On Friday, the company published quarterly results that were a dud with investors, who sent its share price down by more than 5%. That was more deeply in the red than the S&P 500 index's 1.6% dive. One big whiff Much of this was because of a fairly wide bottom-line miss in Casella's second quarter, the results of which were published after market close Thursday. In the quarter, Casella booked revenue of over $465 million. So far, so good, as this was more than 23% higher than in the same quarter of 2024. Further down the profit and loss statement, however, the company revealed that its generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) net income fell to $5.2 million ($0.08 per share) from the year-ago profit of slightly over $7 million. That drop was discouraging enough, but it was exacerbated by the fact that analysts were expecting far better from the company. On average, they were modeling $0.33 per share for bottom-line profitability, although they underestimated revenue with a collective $454 million projection. Acquisitions played a role in Casella's top-line growth, as the company completed six buyouts across the first half of this year. Management also said higher landfill volumes were a catalyst. Notable guidance revisions Outside of the bottom-line miss, Casella's change in guidance was dismaying for investors. Although it raised its outlook for full-year 2025 revenue -- $1.82 billion to $1.84 billion from just under $1.78 billion to a bit over $1.8 billion -- it cut that for profitability. The company now believes its GAAP net income will land at $8 million to $18 million; the previous guidance called for $10 million to $25 million.
