The company has suspended operations at Ford UK Parts Distribution Centre in Daventry, Northamptonshire, following the asbestos discovery.
The asbestos was located in parts of cement at the production site.
Ford stated that the health of its workers was a top priority and has halted operations on the site until the issue is resolved.
A spokesperson from Ford told GB News that operations have been suspended at the Daventry site until the situation was resolved.
They said: “Small pieces of cement containing a low percentage of white asbestos have been found on an area of racking on our Daventry site.
"We have suspended operations while external specialists conduct thorough cleaning.
"We are fully committed to providing a safe working environment and are keeping our employees updated regularly.”
Based on a letter from Ford to customers, "contingency action" is in place, meaning parts needed will be re-routed through Cologne in Germany and Valencia in Spain, the BBC reported.
