Production Engineerings expansion plans bring new jobs to Jackson community

JACKSON, MICH.  Production Engineering Inc., a manufacturer of precision machined components for specialty truck and construction equipment axles, has announced plans to relocate to the 440,000-square-foot former Goodyear warehouse in the City of Jackson and invest over $11 million to revamp the building. This move will create and retain 234 jobs, and potentially generate an additional 202 indirect jobs in the Jackson community. 

The Enterprise Group of Jackson, Inc., in partnership with the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, has been working with Production Engineering for the past year to find a location and financial package that meets their growing needs.

We are thrilled that Production Engineering has chosen to continue their position as a valuable asset to the Jackson community, said Scott Fleming, president and CEO of The Enterprise Group of Jackson, Inc.

Production Engineerings refurbishing plans include new electrical service enhancements, compressed air systems, lighting, water system, overhead cranes, offices and manufacturing support facilities.

Based on the MEDCs recommendation, the Michigan Economic Growth Authority approved a state tax credit valued at $3.4 million over 10 years. To support the project, the City of Jackson has proposed a 20-year personal property tax abatement and Renaissance Zone designation for a combined value of over $3.4 million.
