Manufacturing Mondays
Today’s #ManufacturingMonday was a two for one! I met with the teams at E&E Manufacturing and Globe Tech, and toured their state of the art facilities, both of which focus on automotive and military production. Thanks for showing me around and taking the time to discuss your needs in upcoming legislation!
Today I traveled to Troy for #ManufacturingMonday to meet with Intecells, a startup battery manufacturer. We discussed how the federal government can be a stronger partner in supporting innovative companies like Intecells, and better promote US competitiveness in manufacturing/EV. I so enjoyed meeting with them and touring their facilities!
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.
I also toured their new facilities and headquarters, which recently relocated to #MI11. Thanks for having me!
XL Fleet, a vehicle technology company focused on converting traditional vehicles into hybrids/electrics, is another example of Michigan leading the way in EV! Today for #ManufacturingMonday, I visited their recently opened tech center in Wixom to hear more about the research and development they are doing to expand sustainable transportation options. Welcome to #MI11 - we are excited to have you!
It was so great to reconnect with my friends at AlphaUSA for #ManufacturingMonday to talk business updates, workforce development needs, and economic recovery! AlphaUSA is an innovative, industry-leading manufacturing company that we are so proud to have in #MI11.
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. Michigan is lucky to have some of the best American-made bikes right here in our state!
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.
