$650,000 Southside Renovation to House Lansing Nano-Tech Firm

To accommodate its growth, nano-tech firm, XG Sciences, is renovating a 6,000 square foot building within Southside Lansing’s Quality Dairy Complex. The $650,000 renovation should be complete by the end of 2008.

XG Sciences is a high-tech firm that develops nanoparticles used in products such as plastic, elastomers and resins.

The company was launched in 2006 based on a new graphite nanoparticle developed at MSU’s College of Engineering.

“This really is about leveraging our assets, and one of our greatest assets in the region is Michigan State University,” says Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero.

The expansion will create three to five jobs in the next couple of months and 10-15 jobs over the next year, says Scott Murray, vice president of operations.
