Changes are underway at the Chrysler Group’s South Assembly plant in Fenton.

Though DaimlerChrysler has announced it will downsize Chrysler by laying off nearly 2,000 workers, the plant near St. Louis will be retooled to improve the efficiency of building the Dodge Caravan, Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town and Country minivans. Chrysler builds pick-ups in the North plant.
