A major Arkansas automotive parts manufacturer is closing, affecting more than 1,000 workers.
Hino Motors said it will close its Marion, Arkansas plant by mid-to-late 2027 and withdraw from the parts manufacturing business. The company said it made the decision at a May 31st board meeting. “We appreciate the strong contributions of our Arkansas team as well as the support extended to us by the City of Marion and the state of Arkansas over the years,” said Hino Motors Manufacturing President Davey Jung in a press release. “This difficult choice will allow our company to redirect our focus towards our truck operations in the United States.”
The Marion plant began production in October 2006 and currently employs 1,300 people.
