BAY COUNTY, Mich. (WJRT) – A Bay County company announced that they will be expanding their business with the purchase of two facilities.

Halla Mechatronics announced plans to purchase two 140,000-square-foot facilities in Williams Township. The facilities will be used to accommodate engineering offices and research and development testing facilities. 

The purchase of the buildings will result in a total capital investment of $8.5 million. According to the governor’s office, the company will get a $473,000 performance-based grant from the Michigan Business Development Program.

The expansion is expected to create up to 43 jobs and provide an average wage of $56.40 per hour with benefits. The company currently employs 98 people in Michigan. 

Halla Mechatronics designs electronics, embedded systems and magnetics for use in many precision motor control applications. 

“Retaining HL Mechatronics in Bay County is a huge win locally but also for the State of Michigan. We are thankful and excited to be working with partners like Consumers Energy, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, and Williams Township on this project,” said Jim Reaume, Economic Development Manager, Bay Future, Inc. “Based on the historical growth of the business locally and existing industry opportunities, we believe HL Mechatronics will prosper in their Williams Township location.”
