ORION TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — An international automotive company is investing $15.3 million to expand its business in Oakland County.
Gov. Rick Snyder says the expansion of Fuyao Automotive North America in Orion Township will create 102 full-time jobs.
The company currently provides assembly and support services for auto manufacturers and plans to add equipment to produce glass assembly parts.
Orion Township will cut property taxes for the project, and the Michigan Business Development Program is set to give a $1 million performance-based grant from the state’s Strategic Fund for the company’s investment and job creation.
Snyder says Fuyao’s expansion “tells global companies that our state holds great opportunities.” He first met with company leaders during a 2012 trade trip in Shanghai, China.
