Kiekert announces $1 million expansion at Michigan facility

Kiekert, a provider of automotive locking systems, will invest $1 million to expand its U.S. development and manufacturing center in Wixom, Mich. Since 2013 the firm has invested more than $2.2 million to expand its local test and prototype-development facilities and increase production capacity in the U.S.

The improvements will nearly triple production at the Wixom plant from 350,000 door-latch modules in 2013 to more than 1 million units in 2016. The expansion adds 15,000 sq. ft. to the now 50,000-sq.-ft. facility.
