Canada-Based Markdom Michigan Plastics Plans Charlotte, Michigan, Production Operations

01/13/2025
Canada-based plastics manufacturer Markdom Michigan Plastics, Inc., a subsidiary of Markdom International of Toronto, plans to establish operations in Charlotte, Michigan. The more than $19 million project is expected to create 170 jobs.

The new production facility will be located at 400 Parkland Drive.

“We are thrilled to expand Markdom International’s operations in Charlotte, Michigan. This new facility marks an important step in our growth, and we are grateful for the strong support from the City of Charlotte, LEAP and regional partners. We look forward to creating opportunities for the local workforce and contributing to the region’s economic vitality,” said Nick Orlando, CEO of Markdom International.

To support the project the City of Charlotte approved a 12-year industrial facilities tax abatement. The abatement freezes 50% of the property's new tax revenue for 12 years.

“We are thankful that Markdom has chosen Charlotte, Michigan, for this significant investment in the Lansing region’s thriving automotive manufacturing industry,” noted Bob Trezise, President and CEO of Lansing Economic Area Partnership. “This project not only delivers jobs, investment, and resources to our community but also highlights the critical role of supporting smaller towns and rural areas. Many people wonder how we can sustain smaller towns, main street businesses, and rural life. A balanced development plan, anchored by a reliable manufacturing plant like this, is a vital part of the answer.”

Markdom International is a manufacturer of injection-molded plastics for the automotive and consumer goods industries.
