Axiom Engineered Systems, a subsidiary of its Ontario-based parent company, has announced expansion plans in the U.S., with Michigan as the newest location for servicing its customer base.
As part of its operations, Axiom has been supplying U.S. customers from its production facilities in Ontario and Mexico, but says an influx of recent contracts requires the company to increase production capacity. By securing its first U.S. plastic injection molding facility, Axiom will be able to successfully supply its new and existing contracts.
The new Axiom operations facility will be located in Capac, Michigan, and will be Axiom’s first in the U.S. for housing its plastic injection manufacturing, warehousing, distribution and administration.
The project is expected to generate a total capital investment of $13.3 million and create over 200 jobs, supported by a $1.24 million Michigan Business Development Program performance-based grant. In addition to its current capabilities, Axiom Engineered Systems is says it expects to double in size, in terms of both sales and employment, over the next three years.
Axiom Group President & CEO Perry Rizzo says, “The Capac facility has already secured more than $50 million in new business and will begin operations within an eight-month timeframe.”
With plans for three additional U.S. facilities, Axiom says the new project will bring an excess of employment opportunities and advanced manufacturing jobs to the region, as well as the potential to bring additional investment growth in Michigan.
“Axiom will be bringing many jobs providing livable wages to an area of the state that has been lagging behind on wage growth,” says St. Clair County Economic Development Alliance CEO Dan Casey.
