WARREN, MI-Vacant since the mid-1990s, the former Detroit Arsenal facility is now almost fully transformed into a 1.15-million-sf private industrial complex. Axle housings maker US Manufacturing Corp. is the newest tenant.

WARREN, MI-US Manufacturing Corp., a manufacturer of axle housings for the automotive industry, will consolidate its Michigan operations into a single new manufacturing center and corporate headquarters to occupy part of the former Detroit arsenal tank plant. The new property now includes the Carpenter’s Union, Johnson Controls, Macomb Community College Technical Center, and the United Auto Worker’s Union.

The company originated a patented process for producing axle tube components that weigh substantially less than standard axle housings and are used in light duty and commercial trucks.

US Manufacturing Corp. plans to transfer operations to 525,000 sf of space in the former Detroit Arsenal Plant by late 2002. The new facility will include forming, welding and machining processes, employee training areas and 50,000 sf of offices. It’s located in the city’s Renaissance Zone.
