Michigan Business Success Stories

PROLIM

For PROLIM, expanding into India’s automotive and industrial machinery market was essential to its continued growth. With support from the MEDC, this dream would become a very profitable reality.

Cherry Republic

From selling T-shirts and cookies outside the trunk of a car to becoming a nationally sought-after brand, Cherry Republic has achieved its success over the past 30 years by thinking “a little differently” than most of Corporate America.

Dataspeed

Transportation today already looks vastly different than it did 100 years ago, but Dataspeed, Inc. is pushing the needle further, building the future of mobility from right here in Michigan.

KLA

When KLA began looking for locations to build its new research and development center in 2018, it was not short on options. Over 350 North American locations were in the running, creating widespread competition and a sea of viable candidates. But in the end, only one stood out as the best place for this Silicon Valley-based corporation to invest. Michigan.

Nexient

For decades, Silicon Valley has been synonymous with innovation and high-tech talent. But in recent years, its reputation has also been associated with less enviable qualities. Astronomical housing costs, snarled traffic and high taxes are making it harder to attract, retain and afford great technical talent in the Bay Area. Many tech companies are considering alternatives. For Silicon Valley custom software development firm Nexient, Michigan has been a great one.
