Gentex Plans New Right to Work Michigan Location

Gentex is adding a new location soon in Right to Work Grand Rapids, Michigan. As a result, this will create 50 new jobs. So this is great news for the area’s economy!

From FOX 17:

“Rising transportation costs make commuting increasingly difficult, so if Gentex wants to recruit employees from Grand Rapids, we need to be here,” says President & CEO Steve Downing. “And by locating a satellite plant and creating jobs in a neighborhood near city center, our goal is to strengthen not only Gentex, but also the surrounding community, and we look forward to future opportunities to do so.” […]

Gentex says it has worked to address several of West Michigan’s key obstacles to employment in recent years, adding Spanish-speaking assembly lines in 2021. Late last year, they announced plans to add on-site childcare facilities.
