The 1,200 employees at the BFG plant in Tuscaloosa will be laid off over the next two years.
I don’t believe after this closure we will have any tire manufacturers left here in AL.
At one time there was 3. Uniroyal Opelika, Goodyear Gadsden, BFG Tuscaloosa are the three I’m aware of
Used to be a Dunlop plant near Madison. I installed some alarms at a Michelin plant near Dothan about 15 years ago. I imagine it’s still there.
