NAI To Expand Troy Research And Development Operation

The Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) announced that North American Interconnect, LLC (NAI) will expand its operations in Troy and in Livingston County. According to MEDC, the project should generate a total capital investment of $2.7 million and create 139 jobs. If the jobs come as promised, NAI would receive $186,000 in performance-based grant from the Michigan Business Development Program. Money for the grants comes from the Michigan Strategic Fund.

“NAI’s expansion here rather than in other locations means well-paying jobs for Michigan residents and underscores the strength of the state’s manufacturing and R&D talent,” said Jeff Mason, CEO of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation.

NAI manufactures wire and cable assemblies for industries including telecom, medical and aerospace. NAI plans to expand its engineering and R&D facility in Troy, as well as manufacturing operations in Otsego County, according to MEDC.

“I am very pleased to welcome North American Interconnect and its expanding engineering and research functions to Troy. As a preferred location for innovative global companies, North American Interconnect will find Troy to be an outstanding place for its growing operations,” Troy Mayor Dane Slater said.

“We’re gratified to see North America Interconnect adding to its growing corporate footprint in Oakland County and its diversification into our growing medical industry sector,” said Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson. “Our skilled and educated workforce benefits the company and our quality of life makes Oakland County a desirable location for innovative firms like North American Interconnect,” Patterson added.
