September 16, 2025 , Sterling Heights, Mich. – Stellantis’ Sterling Stamping Plant (SSP) is recognized by the city of Sterling Heights as it marks its 60th anniversary this year, presenting plant leadership with a resolution honoring its decades of manufacturing excellence and community partnership.
Adopted at the Sept. 15 city council meeting and accepted by SSP Plant Manager Greg “Butch” Bauer, the resolution highlights Sterling Stamping’s important role in Stellantis’ North American operations, its economic impact and its long-standing presence as a pillar of the Sterling Heights community.
“The Sterling Heights city council congratulates Stellantis and the Sterling Stamping Plant on its 60th anniversary, commends the plant’s record of innovation, investment and community partnership, and expresses its sincere appreciation for the dedication of its leadership and workforce,” the city council resolution states.
To commemorate the milestone, the plant hosted a Family Day celebration on Aug. 29, welcoming more than 1,700 employees, retirees and their families. Attendees enjoyed live music, arcade games, miniature golf and a caricaturist, joined by Stellantis senior leadership who took part in celebrating the plant’s 60 years of achievement.
“Sterling Stamping’s success is rooted in the people who make it all possible,” said Bauer. “Family Day gave us the opportunity to celebrate their dedication, as well as the families who support them. This anniversary is not only about honoring our past, but about building momentum for the future.”
