ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. (WDRB) -- A Japanese automotive supplier plans to close its Elizabethtown plant at the end of 2025, according to a document written in Japanese and filed with the stock market regulator in Japan.
Akebono Brake Industry Co. employs 629 people making brakes at the plant at 300 Ring Road in Elizabethtown, according to the filing.
The plant opened in 1987, according to a Kentucky business directory.
The announcement filed in Japan says the company is moving to a "one factory system" in the United States after closing plants in Clarksville, Tennessee, and in Columbia, South Carolina, in 2020.
Akebono also has a plant in Glasgow, Kentucky, that employed 795 as of 2018.
The Elizabethtown plant makes "disc brakes, drum brakes (and) high-performance brakes," according to the announcement.
No from the Akebono plant in Elizabethtown nor its U.S. headquarters in Michigan could be reached for comment.
