Autoliv, leader in automotive safety systems, continues its strategy to align production capacity with future EMEA market requirements. As part of this strategy, Autoliv will gradually discontinue its manufacturing operations in T\u00fcrkiye.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe automotive industry is experiencing structural shifts and unprecedented transformation on a global scale. While Autoliv continues to perform strongly worldwide, evolving market dynamics require ongoing evaluation and optimization of our manufacturing footprint to ensure long-term competitiveness and operational sustainability. Following a comprehensive and careful assessment of its regional operations, Autoliv has decided to implement capacity alignments within the EMEA region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Management has determined that manufacturing capacity in the EMEA region exceeds future demand. As part of its capacity alignment, Autoliv will gradually discontinue its manufacturing operations in T\u00fcrkiye, which includes production of steering wheels, airbags, and seatbelts. This is expected to affect approximately 2,200 employees. Production in T\u00fcrkiye will be moved to Autoliv’s other existing facilities in the EMEA region, with the complete closure of manufacturing operations in T\u00fcrkiye anticipated in the first half of 2028,\u201d a release shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Autoliv expects to incur a final pre-tax charge of approximately $142 million for this capacity alignment. Most of this charge is expected to be recorded in the second quarter of 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“As market conditions shift, we are continuously optimizing Autoliv’s manufacturing footprint in the EMEA region to better align our capacity with future demand and strengthen our long-term competitiveness. We recognize that this change is difficult for affected employees and we will approach the situation in a transparent and respectful manner,” says Magnus Jarlegren, President Autoliv EMEA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
