One of nation's largest plumbing suppliers moves into new digs in Sterling Heights

One of the nation's largest suppliers of pipes and plumbing products is moving into larger digs in Sterling Heights, renovating the exterior of the building and making other improvements that amount to $3.6 million.

The 360,000-square-foot space lets the company, The Macomb Group, consolidate some of its operations.

The Macomb Group, which also supplies fittings and valves, is moving into the former Collins & Aikman facility on Van Dyke near 15 Mile Road.

A MEGA tax credit from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation is keeping the company in the state rather than consolidating elsewhere, possibly out of state.

Luke Bonner, Sterling Heights economic development manager, says the decision "truly demonstrates Macomb Group's long-term commitment to Sterling Heights."
