Goodyear to close Fayetteville tyre plant

Goodyear has confirmed plans to close its Fayetteville Consumer Tyre plant by the end of 2027.

The announcement was confirmed by the Fayetteville Cumberland County Economic Development Corporation. Goodyear has been operating in Fayetteville for several decades and remains one of the largest manufacturers and private employers in the area, with nearly 2,000 people working at the plant.

A Goodyear spokesperson said: “The tyre industry is changing fast, and Goodyear must change with it. This difficult decision is necessary to strengthen Goodyear’s ability to compete in today’s marketplace and support the long-term health of the business.”

Goodyear also said it is currently in discussions with the United Steelworkers regarding the planned closure of the facility by the end of 2027. The company said it remains committed to U.S. manufacturing as it adapts to the changing market.
