Castle Bromwich Assembly is a factory owned by Jaguar Land Rover. It is located on the Chester Road in Castle Vale, Birmingham, England and employs 3,200 people. The plant is situated on a 110-acre (45 ha) site, with a 60,000 square metres (650,000 sq ft) manufacturing facility. It formerly manufactured all Jaguar saloon and sports cars, prior to production of complete cars at the site concluding in May 2024. After the production of complete cars ended at the site, the factory was modified into making pressed steel panels (that is, body components, not complete cars) for Jaguar cars.
The site was first developed as Castle Bromwich Aircraft Factory (CBAF), a shadow factory for the production of aircraft by the car industry as part of the rearmament of the UK in the pre-Second World War era. After initial problems it was brought under the control of aircraft manufacturers and became one of the largest producers of aircraft during the war.
