Perspective

Adient was founded as a spin-off from Johnson Controls in 2016,[4] establishing its legal domicile in Dublin, Ireland.[1] Johnson Controls had entered the automotive seating business in 1985 by acquiring Hoover Universal.[5] 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,[6] and which was anticipated to increase the company's revenue by $0.5 billion annually.[4]

In 2016, Adient announced plans to move its global operating headquarters to the Marquette Building in Detroit,[7] but canceled those plans as of June 2018.[8]

In February 2020 Adient announced it agreed to sell its 30% stake in Yanfeng Global Automotive Interior Systems to Yanfeng Automotive Trim Systems for US$379 million.[10][11]
