“These actions result from our demonstrated strength in the domestic market coupled with the skill base we currently experience in the Michigan community for the future.”

As a result of Eberspaecher’s commitment, the City of Brighton has offered tax incentives in addition to a $4.5m Michigan Business Development Programme performance-based grant from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation.

“Partnering with the State of Michigan on this expansion has helped us gain momentum and was instrumental in solidifying our critical decision to invest here,” said Eberspaecher Exhaust Technologies of the Americas VP finance, Scott Trujillo.

In addition to support from the State government, Ann Arbor SPARK, an organisation dedicated to economic prosperity and development in the greater Ann Arbor region, has also helped bring about Eberspaecher’s expansion.
