Made and Distributed in Lansing

Advanced manufacturing has been a cornerstone of the Lansing regional economy for more than a century. Today we’re leveraging the labor skills and equipment of our extensive manufacturing companies to help an increasingly diverse range of industries become completive players in the dynamic international marketplace.

Just a day’s drive from half the population of the US and Canada, and within an hour and half of the state’s other largest metros, the advantages of having a business location in the Lansing area sets us apart. Lansing also provides a superior transportation network, a skilled and plentiful workforce, logistics-friendly infrastructure and the expertise of Michigan State University’s internationally known supply chain management program—ranked #1 in the nation by U.S. News and World Report for both its undergrad and graduate programs.
