On October 1, 1987 – following the acquisition by Chrysler Corporation of the former American Motors Corporation (AMC) – Chrysler Canada acquired the Canadian operations and facilities of the former American Motors (Canada) Inc. The former AMC (Canada) operations were reorganized as the Jeep/Eagle Division of Chrysler. The acquisition included the addition of AMC's Canadian dealers, two vehicle assembly plants and three components manufacturing plants to Chrysler Canada operations.
The plants included the new high-technology Bramalea Assembly Plant in Brampton, Ontario, which produced Eagle Premier passenger cars and the Brampton Assembly Plant which built Jeep® YJ vehicles and Eagle sedans and station wagons. The Brampton Assembly Plant opened in 1960 and ceased production in April 1992.
The former AMC (Canada) subsidiary plants included the Holmes Foundry Ltd. in Sarnia, Ontario (acquired by AMC in 1970, and subsequently closed in 1988), which produced engine blocks; Canadian Fabricated Products Ltd. of Stratford, Ontario (est. 1971 and sold in 1994), which produced automotive interior trim; and Guelph Products in Guelph, Ontario (opened in 1987, and subsequently sold by Chrysler in early 1993), supplied moulded plastic components to the Bramalea Assembly Plant.
