Business is going so well for Lighthouse Molding, Inc. that it's moved from a mere 1,300 square feet of space in Sterling Heights into a 16,000-square-foot facility in the same city.
The 5-year-old advanced manufacturing company makes environmentally-friendly packaging for electronic assemblies. Their packaging, commonly known in the business as low pressure molding, provides a barrier for electronic assemblies from water, dirt, dust, vibrations, and other enemies of electronic machinery.
With two big contracts coming up later this year, one with automotive, the other a consumer product, the company needed more space and will hire 15-18 employees to do the work, says
Lighthouse Molding President Scott Lowes. The company currently has six employees.
"We need this big facility to handle the growth," says Lowes.
He has a background in traditional moldings, but became hooked on Lighthouse's innovative process when he saw its potential to benefit customers.
He says when new equipment is done and other changes made by year's end, the company will have invested at least $100,000.
