Auburn Hills-based Brose North America Inc. plans to invest $97.6 million to expand at its locations in Huron Charter Township, Warren and Auburn Hills.
Brose, the North America subsidiary of German supplier Brose International GmbH, plans to add 388 skilled operator and technician positions to support new lines at its Michigan plants. It will also hire 87 engineers and other highly-skilled employees to support testing and technical functions, according to a Michigan Economic Development Corp. memo.
The expansion is supported by a $4.24 million performance-based grant from the Michigan Strategic Fund.
The expansion comes from new business wins. Its customers include Ford Motor Co., FCA US LLC (formerly Chrysler Group) and Honda.
Brose chose to expand in Michigan instead of Mexico, according to the MEDC memo.
