Vice President of Sales and Marketing Mike Walker. “We look forward to leveraging the excellent employment and vendor base that exists in this area. We are excited to pick Michigan as our home.”
“Michigan leads the nation in manufacturing jobs growth, and the new jobs resulting from Fontijne Formitt’s expansion will keep us moving in the right direction,” said Michigan Economic Development Corporation President and CEO Michael A. Finney. “The company’s decision to invest and add jobs here is a strong statement that Michigan offers one of the nation’s best business climates to growing companies.”
