Governor Whitmer Announces Miller Industries Expansion in Genesee County, Creating 167 Good-Paying Local Jobs 

LANSING, Mich. – Today, Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced a business expansion project in Fenton from Miller Industries with support from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC), representing $43,000,000 in capital investment and creating at least 167 new good-paying, local jobs in Genesee County.   

“This announcement by Miller Industries will bring hundreds of good paying, local jobs to Michigan,” said Governor Whitmer. “The new $43 million expansion will result in a new facility that helps them manufacture cutting-edge technology. With today’s announcement, we are continuing to show the world that Michigan is on the move and open for business. I’ll keep going everywhere and working with anyone to help families and business owners ‘make it’ in Michigan.” 

“We are delighted by Miller Industries’ announcement to expand operations in Fenton, bringing nearly 170 high-quality jobs to the community,” said Matt McCauley, Senior Vice President of Regional Development at MEDC. “This investment reflects Miller Industries’ deep commitment to the region and truly exemplifies what it means to be Making it in Michigan. Small businesses remain the backbone of our state’s economy, and the continued growth of companies like Miller Industries underscores the dedication, resilience, and entrepreneurial spirit of the people who drive Michigan forward.” 

"This project marks another great step in our continued partnership with the State of Michigan,” said Chad Miller, Co-CEO of Miller Industries. “We’re proud to be part of a shared commitment to innovation, job creation, and strengthening Michigan’s manufacturing future." 

“We are proud that Miller Industries is continuing to invest in Flint & Genesee with its second expansion within three years in Fenton Township,” said Tyler Rossmaessler, Executive Director, Flint & Genesee Economic Alliance. “This new expansion will bring more jobs and investment to our region and help drive us toward our Forward Together vision of becoming a top five county in Michigan by 2040.” 

“On behalf of Fenton Township, I want to thank Miller Industries for continuing to invest and grow here. Since establishing their operations in Fenton, Miller Industries has repeatedly demonstrated a long-term commitment to our community — investing in new facilities and creating meaningful employment opportunities,” said Vince Lorraine, Supervisor, Fenton Township. “Their latest expansion will add substantial manufacturing and office capacity and generate hundreds of quality jobs, further strengthening economic activity and development along the Thompson Road corridor. We appreciate their confidence in Fenton Township and look forward to supporting their continued success.” 

Miller Industries, LLC., founded in 2014, is a family owned and operated company that specializes in modular building systems including e-houses, chiller plants, boiler systems, custom steel fabrication, conveyor systems, as well as representing a number of companies nationwide in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) applications. 

The company is announcing their plans to construct a new 270,000-square-foot building to serve high-growth sectors, including semiconductors and electrical substations with the precision engineered components needed. This expansion is part of the company’s long-term strategy to meet the increased needs of current customers and allow the manufacturing space required to secure additional customers. 

The company is anticipating that the expansion will result in up to $43 million in capital investment along with the creation of 167 qualified new jobs with a starting wage of $25 per hour plus benefits. The wage represents nearly $3.50 per hour above the regional median wage of $21.58. The company received a Michigan Business Development Program performance-based grant in the amount of $1 million to aid in the expansion. 

This project supports the manufacturing supply chain while considering environmentally friendly business practices and serves several of Michigan’s focus industries including automotive, technology, and logistics. The company has established a good working relationship with the local region. Genesee County has an unemployment rate of 6.9% and is very optimistic and excited for the addition of 167 new jobs with starting wages well above the regional median wage. 

In addition to MSF support, the Flint & Genesee Economic Alliance has offered a staff, financial, or economic commitment to the project in the form of talent recruitment assistance, and timely permit processing. Also, the Charter Township of Fenton has offered a PA 198 for up to 12 years, with an estimated value of $6 million.
