More than 400 workers will lose their jobs in June with the closure of two automotive seat manufacturing plants in West and Middle Tennessee.
Adient will permanently close its facilities in Henderson and Maury counties by June 27, according to notices submitted to the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development last month.
The company began layoffs of the 95 workers at its Columbia manufacturing facility in Maury County on April 17. Layoffs of the 320 workers at its Lexington plant in Henderson County began April 21.
Adient operates three other Tennessee manufacturing plants in Athens, Murfreesboro and Pulaski, according to its website. A representative for Adient could not be immediately reached for comment.
Employees at the Columbia plant are represented by United Automobile Workers Local 1853 in Spring Hill. Union representatives were not immediately available to comment. Lexington facility employees did not have union representation. The Southwest Local Workforce Development Area rapid response team will coordinate services for affected employees, according to the notices.
