“This contract between a world class engine manufacturer and a Michigan auto supplier demonstrates how our economic gardening strategy is working to grow our state’s economy,” said MEDC President and CEO Michael A. Finney. “The Pure Michigan Business Connect program is an innovative way for government to help Michigan businesses to find new opportunities for growth through market-based solutions.”
“DEUTZ Corporation is delighted to announce the partnership with PKC for the supply of wiring harnesses,” said Nick Price, senior buyer – foreign sourcing office for Deutz Corporation. “As we have expanded our manufacturing facilities and capacity in order to meet the increasing demand of our customers, so the need for supply chain partners has increased both in capacity requirements and in manufacturing capability and performance.”
