Ineos Automotive announced that production of the Grenadier rugged SUV and Grenadier Quartermaster pickup truck has resumed at its vehicle plant in Hambach, France.

Production was paused last September after the seat supplier for the Grenadier, Recaro Automotive, ceased production due to insolvency.

Italian seat manufacturer Proma Group stepped in and agreed to take over Recaro and restart production. This paved the way for Ineos to resume production at its factory.

“This is a great start to the year for us, which I firmly believe will be our best yet. We will build on the more than 40% growth we achieved in 2024,” says Lynn Calder, CEO of Ineos Automotive, in a statement.

Ineos had planned to add two more SUVs, including an electric vehicle, as well as a second factory. However, last August it announced that these additional plans had been put on hold. This is to focus on new variants of the Grenadier and Grenadier Quartermaster and to expand into more markets.

Calder states that with the recent addition of China and Mexico to its list of markets, Ineos now operates in almost 50 countries.
