Despite government pressure, Johnson Controls Inc. will shift sun-visor output from plants in Michigan and Kentucky to Ramos Arizpe, Mexico, saying the move is critical to remain competitive.

Some 885 jobs will be cut at JCI's Southview plant in Holland, MI, and a Glasgow, KY, facility will lose 180 positions.

Despite record profits, JCI says it needed to “streamline” operations in order to remain in the visor business.
