The Mercedes Benz plant in Vitoria-Gasteiz will stop production tomorrow, Saturday, due to problems in the supply of components due to the Leonardo  depression.

The management of the largest factory in the Basque Country, with about 5,000 workers, informed the unions and all the workers of this decision on Thursday.



In its communication, it states that they are in a "particularly bad" situation in the Strait of Gibraltar due to the storm, which has led to the "collapse of the logistical supply chain".

In the face of this lack of supplies, Mercedes Benz,  "as an exceptional measure " N has decided to suspend activity in the morning shift.

In the meantime, the company is working to ensure the arrival of supplies and to be able to rescue the operation by next Monday.

The same has happened in the Spanish State in other companies, such as Stellantis in Vigo or Opel in Zaragoza, Peugeot and Citroen.
