**JLR to Resume Manufacturing Cars Starting Tomorrow Following Cyberattack**
*By Dwaipayan Roy | Oct 07, 2025, 04:23 PM*
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has announced a phased resumption of production at its UK manufacturing facilities, starting tomorrow. This follows over a month-long halt caused by a cyberattack in late August that disrupted the company’s global manufacturing and retail operations.
**An Important Step in Recovery**
Adrian Mardell, JLR’s outgoing CEO, described the restart as an “important moment” in the company’s recovery process. While acknowledging there is still significant work ahead, Mardell emphasized that JLR is now firmly on the path to recovery.
To aid this process, JLR has introduced a new short-term financing scheme designed to provide upfront cash to its suppliers, helping them manage cash flows as production ramps up again.
**Phased Restart Across Key Facilities**
The phased production restart will begin at JLR’s West Midlands sites, including the engine plant in Wolverhampton and the battery assembly facility in Hams Hall near Birmingham. Key stamping plants located in Castle Bromwich and Solihull will also resume operations.
In addition, the body shop, paint shop, and logistics center at Solihull vehicle manufacturing plant will restart. However, the restart at the Halewood plant on Merseyside remains pending further updates.
**Global Production Updates**
JLR’s vehicle production in Nitra, Slovakia, is set to resume soon. Meanwhile, the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport production lines at Solihull are expected to restart later this week. Some employees have already returned to work at the Wolverhampton site as of Monday.
**Supporting Suppliers with New Financing Scheme**
To support its suppliers during this challenging period, JLR has launched a new short-term financing scheme. Under this scheme, suppliers will receive most of their payments upfront once an order is placed, with the final payment made upon invoice receipt. This initiative aims to accelerate payments by up to 120 days, significantly easing suppliers’ cash flow pressures.
Mardell highlighted the scheme’s importance in sustaining supplier relationships and ensuring a smoother production restart.
