Stellantis Middle East & Africa has announced a landmark move to consolidate its operations in Türkiye by merging Stellantis Türkiye into TOFAŞ, following the official approval from the Turkish Competition Authority.
The integration strengthens Stellantis’ long-standing partnership with Koç Holding and positions TOFAŞ as the unified operational hub for all Stellantis brands in the country.
The strategic realignment brings together leading marques such as Citroën, DS Automobiles, Opel, Peugeot, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Jeep, and Maserati under the TOFAŞ umbrella. The move aims to enhance operational efficiency, streamline customer service, and accelerate the group’s growth trajectory in Türkiye and the broader Middle East and Africa region.
Backed by a substantial €256 million investment, TOFAŞ will spearhead the launch of a new multi-energy light vehicle platform, with production beginning in Q3 2026. The facility will have the capacity to produce up to 150,000 vehicles annually, including electric and hybrid variants, and will serve both domestic and export markets, particularly across the Middle East and Africa.
“This transformation is more than a strategic alignment — it’s a powerful statement of trust in Türkiye’s industrial future,” said a Stellantis representative. “Through this renewed organisational structure and shared vision with Koç Holding, we are creating a dynamic base for innovation, production, and regional leadership.”
The decision highlights Türkiye’s pivotal role in Stellantis’ ambition to become the leading automotive group in the Middle East and Africa. With TOFAŞ already established as a key manufacturing and R&D centre, the latest developments reinforce the country’s importance as a hub for industrial growth and mobility innovation.
The new structure is expected to bring improved synergies, stronger brand representation, and greater market responsiveness, setting the stage for Stellantis to deliver world-class mobility solutions to Turkish consumers and regional partners alike.
