Pace Industries Die Casting Closure

Bad news for our American manufacturing industry, die casting plant shut down announced by Pace Industries. Founded in 1970 in Arkansas, Pace Industries has grown into one of North America’s largest full-service die-casting manufacturers. The company produces precision metal components used in a variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, and consumer products.

In recent years, the company relocated its global headquarters to the Detroit area to be closer to major automotive customers. In 2021, Pace Industries officially moved its headquarters to Novi, Michigan.

On February 24, 2026, Pace Industries, a die casting corporation, submitted a notice under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN Act), a federal law that requires certain employers to provide at least 60 days’ advance notice before conducting mass layoffs or plant closures. The law is intended to give employees and local communities time to prepare for job losses and to seek retraining or new employment opportunities.

Pace Industries is located in Muskegon, Michigan is a major manufacturing employer in Michigan and are preparing to close two facilities, a move that will result in the permanent layoff of up to 145 workers.

Pace Industries, a die-casting manufacturer specializing in aluminum, zinc, and magnesium components, announced plans to shut down its plants located at 2121 Latimer Drive and 2350 Black Creek Road. According to a notice filed with the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, the closures and layoffs are expected to take effect on April 25, 2026.

The company cited ongoing restructuring efforts as the reason for the decision. Officials are reviewing whether the required notice period was properly met in this case. If the company did not provide the full 60-day notification period before implementing the layoffs, it could potentially face claims of noncompliance with the WARN Act.

The layoffs will affect a wide range of manufacturing and management roles. Positions scheduled to be eliminated include general operators, die-cast operators, melt operators, painters, quality technicians, and production managers. The job losses represent a significant reduction in the company’s workforce in Muskegon.

Despite the closures, Pace Industries will continue operating one remaining facility in the city at 2281 Port City Boulevard, according to information listed on the company’s website.

Pace Industries first expanded into the West Michigan market in 2015 when it acquired the Port City Group, a Muskegon-based die-casting manufacturer. At the time, the acquisition was seen as an opportunity to expand production capacity and strengthen the company’s presence in the region.

Following the acquisition, Port City Group CEO John Essex expressed optimism about the merger, saying the partnership would allow the company to access Pace Industries’ broader resources while maintaining strong local operations.

The upcoming closures in Muskegon are part of a broader restructuring strategy within the company. Similar workforce reductions have been announced at other facilities, including a planned shutdown of a plant in Harrison, Michigan, which is expected to eliminate an additional 178 jobs.
