SpaceForm rolls out of TechTown into new partnership

Detroit's TechTown can claim another success story now that SpaceForm has spun out of the business incubator and formed a partnership with Welding Solutions.

SpaceForm employed three people before the merger this month. Today it employs seven at its new home in Madison Heights. It also has access to the resources and expertise of the 125 people that work for Welding Solutions.

"It was an ideal way to get access to a lot of experience and infrastructure that exists at Welding Solutions," says Alain Piette, president of SpaceForm.

SpaceForm develops welding technology that is much quicker, more efficient and cost effective than the norm in the manufacturing industry. The Delphi spin-off was also one of TechTown's first tenants when it started in 2005.

"It's a Michigan jewel that unfortunately not too many people know exists," Piette says. "They know where the resources are and they know how to coach entrepreneurs at various levels."
