Tech Company to Add 150 Jobs Around Northville

State Rep. Kurt Heise (R-Plymouth), whose constituency includes the City of Northville and Northville Township,  announced Thursday that a $1.2 million state grant will go to Aisin Technical Center of America, Inc.

The grant will help the company expand in Northville and bring more than 150 jobs to the area.

“Grants like these help incentivize local companies into growth and expansion within our communities,” Heise said in a news release. “By helping spur economic stability and progress, the state is showing its commitment to supporting Michigan residents and job creation in Michigan in an overall effort to create greater economic security and opportunity.”

Aisin plans to expand in Northville Township with a new building as part of an overall $32.7 million investment to their North, Central and South America product development.

The Michigan Economic Development Corporation through the Michigan Strategic Fund (MSF) approved and awarded a Michigan Business Development Program grant to Aisin to help them with the expansion. Northville Township also offered a 12-year property tax abatement.

“Turning Michigan’s economy around takes commitment and investment by all interested parties,” Heise said in the release. “So when we have an opportunity to help keep a world-wide company right here in Michigan, it makes for an easy economic decision."
