Adient plc is an automotive parts manufacturer focused on automotive seating with global operations based in Plymouth, Michigan. As of 2017, Adient was the world's largest auto seat manufacturer and accounted for one-third of global revenue in this sector, providing components for 25 million vehicles.
Adient was founded as a spin-off from Johnson Controls in 2016, at which time its legal domicile was established in Dublin, Ireland. 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, and which was anticipated to increase the company's revenue by $0.5 billion annually.
As of 2017, Adient employed 75,000 people across 230 manufacturing/assembly plants, in 33 countries. In 2016, Adient announced plans to move its global operating headquarters to the Marquette Building in Detroit.
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 will 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.
