The company filed a WARN notice citing ongoing analysis of plant utilization and efforts to optimize its manufacturing footprint and operating efficiency. Separations are scheduled to begin Feb. 6, 2026, and the facility is slated to permanently close on July 1, 2027; union members with UAW Local 1686 will be notified at least 60 days before their last day.
