Goodyear says Fayetteville plant closure will help reshape Americas manufacturing network
Goodyear plans to close its Fayetteville, NC plant by end-2027 as part of a broader Americas manufacturing footprint optimization. Management targets about $90M operating income improvement in 2027 and roughly $270M annually from 2028, offset by sizable $535M–$565M pretax charges (including $190M–$210M cash). The move highlights cost-cutting amid weaker tire demand, competitive pressure, and a Q2 net loss.
