Coats Group plc Announces its Intention to Fully Exit from Performance Materials Division's US Yarns Business Based in Kings Mountain, North Carolina Coats Group plc announced its intention to fully exit from the Performance Materials (PM) division's US Yarns business based in Kings Mountain, North Carolina. This follows the strategic review of the Americas Yarns business which started in Fourth Quarter 2024 and has already resulted in the closure of the Toluca, Mexico facility in December 2024. The strategic review has concluded that the Americas Yarns business does not fit with Coats' future strategy and the exit from this non-core operation will result in a positive annualised impact to both the PM and Group adjusted EBIT margins. The exit process is expected to complete in Second Quarter and is anticipated to generate a modest cash inflow, after closure costs, and will allow management to focus on driving forward and growing other parts of the Group's attractive portfolio.
