Northville, Michigan-based ZF Active Safety, a supplier of advanced mobility products and systems for passenger cars, commercial vehicles and industrial technology, has announced the closure of its Flowery Branch, Georgia facility on July 22, 2024, and the closure of its Findlay, Ohio facility in the second quarter of 2025.
The closure of the Georgia will impact 365 employees and the closure of the Ohio facility will impact 215 ZF employees and approximately 35 external agency workers.
According to a company statement regarding the Ohio plant, "The reason for the closure is that the serial production contracts for the Brake Controls product have ended and the carry-on business has been sourced to another supplier."
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 bad 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. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
