Adient plc is an American, Irish-domiciled company that operates as the largest[4] manufacturer of automotive seating for customers worldwide and is based in Plymouth, Michigan, United States.[5]
History#edit
Adient was founded as a spin-off from Johnson Controls in 2016,[5] establishing its legal domicile in Dublin, Ireland.[1] Johnson Controls had entered the automotive seating business in 1985 by acquiring Hoover Universal.[6] In September 2017, Adient acquired the Oak Park, Michigan-based automotive seat manufacturer Futuris from Clearlake Capital, which added 15 facilities in Asia and North America, including one facility based in Newark, California,[7] and which was anticipated to increase the company's revenue by $500 million annually.[5]
In 2016, Adient announced plans to move its global operating headquarters to the Marquette Building in Detroit,[8] but canceled those plans as of June 2018.[9]

In January 2018, a joint venture was formed by Adient (50.01%) and Boeing (49.99%) to develop and manufacture airliner seats for new installations or retrofit, a $4.5 billion market in 2017 which was then forecast to grow to $6 billion by 2026, to be based in Kaiserslautern near Frankfurt and distributed by Boeing subsidiary Aviall, with its customer service center in Seattle.[10]
In February 2020, Adient announced it agreed to sell its 30% stake in Yanfeng Global Automotive Interior Systems to Yanfeng Automotive Trim Systems for $379 million.[11][12]
In March 2020, Adient entered into an agreement to sell its automotive fabrics manufacturing business to Sage Automotive Interiors for $175 million.[13][14]
As of 2026, Adient employs more than 65,000 people across ~200 manufacturing/assembly plants,[1] in 29 countries.[5][15]
