Turkey-Based Fibrosan Plans Cassopolis, Michigan, Manufacturing Operations

06/29/2026
Turkey based fiberglass composites manufacturer Fibrosan, Inc. plans to establish operations in Cassopolis, Michigan. The more than $16.8 million project is expected to create 32 jobs in Cass County.

The investment will include the construction of a new manufacturing facility, located at the MEC Smart Park, that will support growing demand from North American recreational vehicle manufacturers.

“This facility is not the result of a decision we made recently. It is the result of a journey that started more than twenty years ago. Over those years, we invested in people, technology, capacity, and relationships. We learned the market, listened to our customers, and earned their trust and confidence step by step. Today, breaking ground in Cassopolis is not the end of that journey. It is just the beginning of a new chapter. We are proud to bring manufacturing closer to our customers, create opportunities in this community, and build a long-term sustainable future in North America,” said Erim Yucel, CEO of Fibrosan.

To support the project, the Michigan Strategic Fund approved a $200,000 Michigan Business Development Program performance-based grant. In addition, the Village of Cassopolis anticipates approval of a real property tax abatement, and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation authorized a State Education Tax abatement to be used in conjunction with the locally approved incentive.

“Today’s announcement is fantastic news for Cassopolis and the surrounding area for job creation, small business support, and driving further investment into the community,” noted Matt McCauley, Senior Vice President of Regional Development at the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC). “We applaud Fibrosan’s commitment to the area and for their ongoing successes and growth.”

Fibrosan is a manufacturer of fiberglass-reinforced polyester (FRP) composite products serving the recreational vehicle, transportation, construction, and industrial sectors. The company’s operations include composite materials manufacturing, molding, fabrication, and distribution for domestic and international customers.

“Fibrosan’s investment is a monumental win for Cass County, creating quality jobs, strengthening our industrial base, and showcasing the momentum our region has been building. Market One is proud to stand alongside the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, Southwest Michigan First, the Village of Cassopolis, Midwest Energy & Communications, and many valued partners whose collective efforts helped bring this project to fruition,” added Katie Multhauf, Economic Development Manager at Market One.
