“The planned facility closure is a result of relentlessly increasing pricing pressures in the marketplace and the need to improve competitiveness to attract future business,” the company said in a statement.
The Jackson plant employs 400 and manufactures braking components for the automotive industry. Under the plan, present Jackson plant operations would be consolidated into existing North American facilities.
