BERLIN—Opel will not split off its German factories from its operations, and production at the Eisenach plant will resume in January, Opel owner Stellantis and union IG Metall said on Wednesday, soothing fears over the marque’s future.

Stellantis also said that the Grandland SUV, which was temporarily produced in France when Eisenach was shut down in September due to a global chip shortage, will be made exclusively in the German factory from the new year.
