MILAN, June 15 (Reuters) - Stellantis ( STLA ) does not

plan to close any plants in Italy as each facility in the

country is earmarked to play a specific role in the automaker's

industrial plan, its Europe chief Emanuele Cappellano told

unions on Monday.

Cappellano met unions in Rome to present details of the new

business plan the automaker launched last month, ahead of a

hearing of Chief Executive Antonio Filosa at the Italian

parliament on Wednesday.

* Italy has a key role within Stellantis' ( STLA ) new business plan,

Cappellano was quoted as saying by a spokesman

* He said the group is getting encouraging signs in Italy of

rising demand, market share and production as well as reduced

furloughs in several plants

* The Pomigliano plant will have a focus on affordable

electric vehicles, while Mirafiori on industrial innovation and

small cars, he said. Melfi, Cassino and Modena will support

offerings of premium and luxury vehicles

* Atessa is confirmed as a key spot for light commercial

vehicles

* Cappellano said current plans for Italy mark a natural and

more ambitious evolution of a previous plan for the country that

the automaker presented to the Italian government in late 2024,

before Filosa became CEO

* Commitments set out in Stellantis' ( STLA ) 2024 plan for Italy

have been met and, in many cases, exceeded under the new

business plan, Cappellano told unions
