FARMINGTON HILLS, MI — As Mercedes-Benz continues to move personnel to its North American headquarters near Atlanta, more Michiganders are looking for work.

The company issued a WARN notice with the state of Michigan on Dec. 31, 2025, announcing that 157 employees would be laid off as Mercedes-Benz closes its financial services offices at 36455 Corporate Drive in Farmington Hills.

The closure was initially announced in May, at which point the company stated it would be relocating 400 employees from Michigan to Mercedes-Benz’s U.S. headquarters in Sandy Springs, Georgia and its new hub in Metro Atlanta.

“All affected employees have been offered the opportunity to relocate to facilities outside of Michigan and continue their employment with the company or an affiliate,” the notice stated. “As of this date, 108 employees have indicated they intend to move to another facility and continue their employment with the company or an affiliate.”

The remainder of the Farmington Hills’ office’s 265 employees “elected not to relocate and will be separating from employment,” the notice states.

Employee separations began on Dec. 31, 2025, and will conclude by Aug. 31.
