A longtime brake-parts foundry in Warren County is preparing to shut down, a move that will strip more than a hundred local workers of their paychecks over the coming months. Asama Coldwater Manufacturing Georgia LLC has notified officials that it plans a phased closure that will eliminate 107 positions beginning in September.
According to a notice reported by the Atlanta Business Chronicle, the cuts will roll out in three phases and will fall mostly on production and related jobs at the Warrenton facility. The Chronicle reports the plant produces brake rotors used on Honda vehicles.
Plant Details And Operations
State environmental filings describe the Warrenton site as a gray-iron foundry that casts, machines and finishes automotive components. The Georgia Environmental Protection Division lists the facility under a Title V air-quality permit and confirms the plant’s Warren County location.
About Asama
Asama Coldwater Manufacturing describes itself as a supplier of precision castings to the automotive industry and lists ACM Georgia LLC’s Warrenton address on its corporate site. The company’s website notes quality and environmental certifications, along with the plant’s capabilities in casting, machining and coating, as laid out on the Asama Coldwater Manufacturing website.
Worker Support And WARN Rules
Under the federal WARN Act, covered employers must give at least 60 days’ notice before a plant closing, and in Georgia those filings go to the Technical College System of Georgia. The TCSG WARN portal, along with the state’s Rapid Response and WorkSource Georgia programs, offers help with reemployment for laid-off workers. Affected employees are also directed to file for benefits with the Georgia Department of Labor.
Regional Impact And Trends
WARN filings and recent coverage show that manufacturing and logistics operations have fueled several significant layoff events in Georgia this year, and analysts say closures like this one can squeeze local tax bases while driving short-term spikes in unemployment claims. As documented by the Ledger‑Enquirer, a run of WARN notices in 2026 has already put added pressure on workforce services in multiple counties.
Details on severance, transfer options or formal company statements were not included in initial coverage. More specifics are expected to be posted on the Georgia WARN portal and the company’s website as the shutdown moves ahead, including how the three-phase closure scheduled to begin in September will unfold for the 107 affected workers.
