Auburn Hills, Michigan-based US Farathane, a Tier 1 and Tier 2 supplier of plastic injection-molded components to the automotive industry, has announced the closure of its Troy, Michigan, plastics molding plant on June 30, 2025.
The closure will impact 180 employees, including technical and office employees.
The closures are part of a strategic move to consolidate operations and improve efficiency in response to challenges in the automotive industry, including global demand fluctuations and increased competition.
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. Just because something terrible hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. While many employees can read the writing on the wall, why do most assume it’s targeted at someone else? Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
