A West Michigan-based truck part company is expanding with a facility in the Wyoming area, Crain’s Grand Rapids Business reports.
Weller Truck Parts has renovated the 131,000-square-foot building at 1250 60th Street near Burlingame Avenue in Byron Township to include remanufacturing space for electric vehicle components, according to News 8 partner Crain’s Grand Rapids Business.
Weller Truck Parts President and COO Terry Stranz told Crain’s that electric vehicles will be a large part of the company’s future growth.
“As we expand into newer products, both on the electronic side and non-electronic products in the EVs that are coming, we know that’s going to take an expansion of people,” Stranz told Crain’s.
The facility is expected to add 130 new jobs over the next three to five years, Crain’s reports.
The company was first started in Muskegon in 1928, before moving to Grand Rapids in 1949. It has now grown to include more than 30 locations throughout the country, according to its website.
