DEARBORN, Mich. — Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) today closed all of its plants in the U.S. and Canada starting with the second shift, primarily out of concern for our employees' peace of mind and material shortages.
Earlier Tuesday, Ford closed World Headquarters in Dearborn, Mich., and regional offices in New York City and Washington D.C. as a precautionary measure following the apparent terrorist attacks.
Ford expects that nearly all of its facilities in the U.S. and Canada will be open Wednesday, Sept. 12, with the exception of offices in New York City and Washington D.C.
