| Featured in the Detroit Free Press, Crains Detroit Business and www.manufacturingtalk.com. July 12, 2004 Michigan Manufacturer Reverses Trend Keeps jobs here, ships parts to China Microphoto, Inc., with plants in Detroit and Roseville, Michigan, announces the completion of a technologically advanced metal etching facility at the Roseville location. This gives Microphoto nearly 30,000 square feet of manufacturing space. The expansion comes at a time when many U.S. companies are downsizing or sending their jobs overseas. Microphoto forecasts a 20% to 30% increase in employees and states that the first quarter of 2004 was the best since 1999. The company will begin a third phase of expansion in the very near future. The company was started in 1965 by Nishon “Lucky” Muradian. It is one of the oldest metal etching companies in the country. The growth of this industry was created and fueled by the space exploration campaigns and the need for intricate low volume metal parts in the 60’s. Since then, the process also known as photo chemical machining has become common in many industries. The major benefit with metal etching is the fantastic speed (within 24 hours) at which prototype metal parts can often be manufactured. In addition, these parts are burr-free and stress-free with no physical or chemical changes to the metal properties. The primary reason customers get this extraordinary next-day turnaround service is because President Rick Wade, Vice President Brian Wade and their dedicated staff make it happen. They are nephews of Mr. Muradian, the company’s founder. They have earned a reputation for a kind of customer service that is almost unheard of. By being responsive to customer needs, Microphoto has expanded its business. It is adding employees, adding to its facility and shipping parts to China and the rest of the world. With virtually no increase in sales force, their sales are up 10 to 15%. |
