International Motors, LLC

International Motors, LLC announced it will lay off more than 1,300 plant workers following the sale of a manufacturing plant. The cuts are tied directly to the plant sale and affect plant/manufacturing personnel rather than corporate functions. The article reports the company plans to eliminate over 1,300 positions but does not specify exact timing or give a firm date for when the job reductions will occur. No specific location for the affected plant or details on severance, rehiring, or buyer plans were provided in the article. The announcement frames the layoffs as a consequence of the facility sale and part of restructuring tied to that transaction.

International Motors, a manufacturer of trucks, buses and engines, plans to eliminate 1,341 jobs at its Springfield, Ohio assembly plant and Truck Specialty Center following the sale of those facilities to Canadian armored vehicle maker Roshel. The company announced the sale agreement in March 2026 and scheduled the layoffs to take effect Oct. 2, 2026, when the transaction was expected to close. The facilities are not being permanently closed; Roshel intends to begin its own production of commercial, specialty and armored vehicles at the sites but has not disclosed how many existing employees it will hire. The reported cuts are part of the transition tied to the asset sale rather than a plant shutdown, and the company provided the planned job-elimination number in notices reported by TheStreet.
