USA - Commercial Vehicle Group Inc (CVG) of New Albany, Ohio, USA, a supplier of seating systems, electro-mechanical assemblies, engineered material products for the CV industry, has announced it is consolidating its manufacturing and distribution operations, which will see the closure of its 150,000 square foot facility in Piedmont, Alabama; this action is in line with the company's cost reduction plan previously announced in mid-May 2020.
Manufacturing at the Piedmont facility, which serves primarily the commercial vehicle aftermarket and employs approximately 49 staff, is to be transferred to CVG's manufacturing and distribution facility in Vonore, Tennessee following the closure, which is expected to be substantially completed by the fourth quarter of 2020.
