Novi, Michigan-based Yanfeng, a manufacturer of automotive interior, exterior, seating, cockpit electronics, and passive safety components, has announced the closure of its Romulus, Michigan production facility, with work being transferred to other company facilities.
The closure will impact 192 employees, mainly assembly personnel, with separations scheduled on January 5, 2026.
According to a company spokesperson, "The layoff is necessary due to work being moved from the Romulus site to other Yanfeng facilities. If any opportunity to relocate employees presents itself, we will extend such offers at the time they become available."
Change is constant, and it's coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life, nor promises of 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, at any time, 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?
