Manufacturing Mondays
Today I visited Our Next Energy (ONE), a new EV start-up in Novi for #ManufacturingMonday! I really enjoyed touring their facilities and hearing about about how they’re growing their business and bringing EV back to #MI11. Thanks for having me!
Today I visited UBCR in Wixom, a key player in the MI beverage container deposit system, for #ManufacturingMonday. They use their innovative technology to collect, transport, process, and recycle empty beverage containers with a recovery rate of 89%, highest in the nation!
Last week I had the opportunity to sit down with leadership at Pace Industries for #ManufacturingMonday!
We discussed their major projects, legislative priorities, electrification in automotive, and the semiconductor shortage.
XL Fleet, a vehicle technology company focused on converting traditional vehicles into hybrids/electrics, is another example of Michigan leading the way in EV!
It was so great to reconnect with my friends at AlphaUSA for #ManufacturingMonday to talk business updates, workforce development needs, and economic recovery!
Energized from my #ManufacturingMonday visit to Plastipak’s headquarters in Plymouth today! We discussed Plastipak’s recycling process and the important measures that they are taking to ensure sustainability.
Last week I toured my friends small business and facility, @detroitbikes, for #ManufacturingMonday! We had an enlightening conversation on how to strengthen US-based manufacturing and global supply chains.
I visited Altair in Troy for #ManufacturingMonday today. We talked about their hardware & software development for our Armed Forces & private sector. I was fascinated by their virtual proving ground concept with the Department of Defense! Really exciting things they’re working on here.
This afternoon, I visited Witzenmann in Troy for #ManufacturingMonday. They’re hiring, completely diversified between the automotive and aerospace sectors, plus they’ve been innovating since the 1850s and have a ton of proprietary machines and equipment.
Today, I visited Oxus in Auburn Hills for #ManufacturingMonday. It was great to chat about their work in the medical device manufacturing field & exciting to hear they’ve created 60 new jobs in the past 18 months. (It’s also nice to see people’s faces now that we’re vaccinated!)
