Autoliv to close Türkiye manufacturing operations, affecting about 2,200 employees
Confirmed reporting
Autoliv plans to gradually discontinue production of steering wheels, airbags and seatbelts in Türkiye after concluding that its EMEA manufacturing capacity exceeds future demand. The closure is expected to affect approximately 2,200 employees, with production transferred to other existing EMEA facilities and full shutdown anticipated in the first half of 2028.
Candidate interpretation
This is a clearly negative employment signal for manufacturing candidates and current workers in Türkiye. Other EMEA plants may receive transferred production, but Autoliv has not described this announcement as a hiring programme, so candidates elsewhere should not assume that the 2,200 affected positions will be recreated.
