Hayes said worldwide overcapacity in the light vehicle aluminum wheel market and aluminum wheel imports caused the company to close the facility.

The facility employs 290 people.

"The phase-out is a difficult but necessary step in our overall plan to provide our customers the highest quality products at competitive prices and to improve profitability," Chief Executive Curtis Clawson said in a statement.
