Adient factories in Maury and Henderson Counties will be permanently closing this summer.
More than 400 workers will be laid off following the closure of two Tennessee facilities by Adient, an automotive seating manufacturer, as announced on April 29, 2025. The closures will affect the plants in Lexington and Linden, with the Lexington facility shutting down on June 28, 2025, and the Linden plant closing on July 31, 2025. Adient cited the need to consolidate operations and improve efficiency as the reason for these closures. The company is working with local and state officials to support the affected employees in finding new job opportunities.
