Dakkota Integrated Systems will close its Detroit plant, resulting in 397 layoffs. The closure is attributed to the loss of contracts for instrument panels for the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango. The plant's shutdown will occur in two phases, with the first round of layoffs impacting 205 employees at the end of 2026. A second phase will eliminate another 192 jobs by March 2027. This decision highlights the vulnerability of suppliers tied to specific automotive contracts.
