Manufacturing and auto plant layoff notices, 2026

286 notices from factories, mills, automakers and auto parts suppliers, and makers of metals, chemicals, paper, packaging, plastics, furniture, electronics and equipment in 21 of the 25 states we cover, up to Oct 29, 2026. Together they name 30,143 workers, and 158 are listed as closures.

International Motors, LLC in Ohio, naming 1,341 workers, posted Jul 28, 2026.

First Brands Group, with 11 notices naming 2,618 workers in 5 states. By workers named, the largest is First Brands Group, with 2,618 across 11 notices.

California, with 94 notices naming 6,433 workers. States that publish no industry field are matched by employer name only, so plant notices there may be undercounted.

Factories, mills and plants, automakers, truck, RV and trailer makers, auto parts and tire makers, and makers of steel, metals, chemicals, paper, packaging, glass, plastics, furniture, electronics, medical products, drugs and machinery, matched by employer name and, where the state publishes it, a manufacturing industry field or code (NAICS 31-33). Every notice a manufacturer files under its own name is counted, including its offices and distribution centers. Food, dairy and meat processors are on the farm and food page instead. Staffing and service contractors working inside plants, car dealers and parts stores, distributors, and software or IT firms a state coded as manufacturing are left out. It is a keyword match, so check each row's source link.
