Mitsubishi's Australian assembly operations in Adelaide will close by the end of March, Australian Manufacturing Workers Union (AMWU) state secretary John Camillo says.
Mr Camillo said Mitsubishi Australia president Rob McEniry told workers at the Tonsley Park plant of the decision at a meeting today.
About 1000 workers will lose their jobs, with the company pledging to pay out all their redundancy and leave entitlements.
The workers have been told to take the rest of the week off on full pay and return to work again on Monday.
Mitsubishi has also pledged to provide counseling for workers.
"Rob McEniry spoke to the workers, it was very emotional,'' Mr Camillo said.
"He indicated that one hour ago Mitsubishi Motors Corporation in Japan made the announcement to close the Tonsley Park operation.''
