The expansion is expected to create 150 new jobs. Lapeer Metal Stamping is a Tier One supplier of high-quality metal stampings and assemblies for the automotive industry.
The Michigan Economic Development Corp. is providing a $1.2-million grant to Sebewaing to help fund infrastructure improvements necessary to support the move. Lapeer Metal already has existing operations nearby in Sebewaing.
Sebewaing will use the funding for road, water and sewer improvements as well as training for new employees. Sebewaing will contribute an additional $280,000 to support the expansion.
