CASCADE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — As Paragon D&E President Dave Muir walks past the giant tool-making machinery on the floor of his plant, he points out heavy bronze and aluminum manifolds for oil wells sitting next to lightweight hulls for Yamaha Waverunners.

Nearby is a giant metal doughnut-shaped mold used to create composite parts for jet engines, a molded plastic door for the front of a house, and several wheeled trash containers.
