TI Group Automotive Systems LLC is permanently closing its manufacturing facility in Greeneville, Tenn., and cutting nearly 70 jobs as a result.
The company filed a notice July 25 with the Tennessee Department of Labor and Worker Development under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act. The layoffs affect 67 employees and will start Sept. 20 and continue through December this year, according to the notice.
Employees at the facility are not represented by a collective bargaining agreement.
TI Group Automotive, a subsidiary of TI Fluid Systems plc based in Oxford, England, has injection molding operations at the Greeneville plant, where it makes plastic fuel pumps and modules for the automotive industry. The company's U.S. headquarters is in Auburn Hills, Mich.
A message seeking further details was left with an employee at the Greeneville plant. A corporate spokesman for the parent company said in an email to Plastics News that the company had no comment.
TI Fluid Systems is listed on the London Stock Exchange and owned by Bain Capital Private Equity LP.
