Bar’s Products announced it opened its new headquarters in Holly, Mich., just a few miles from its previous location where the company spent nearly the last 60 years.
The company is expected to hold a ribbon-cutting event today that will include speeches from representatives from the company, the regional chamber of commerce, Grand Blanc Township and the Village of Holly. It is also expected to feature some of the Top Fuel dragsters, junior dragsters, funny cars and monster trucks the company sponsors.
“At the Genesee Regional Chamber of Commerce, we work very hard to help companies reach their expansion and relocation goals,” said Tim Herman, CEO of the regional chamber. “Bar’s Products is a great new addition to the list of diverse businesses in Genesee County. Our economic development team identified and connected them to training and workforce services, government contracting opportunities and process improvement programs available through the Regional Chamber and its partners.”
“We had been in our previous location since 1952,” said Carrie Mermuys, executive vice president of Bar’s Products. “And while we were able to make it work for us for a long time, as our business has grown over the last few years, we just ran out room. Our new building provides the space we need now, plus additional capacity for future expansion.”
The new facility features the latest technology, modern infrastructure and convenient proximity to Interstate 75. The move has enabled Bar’s Products to create more ergonomic workspaces for its employees, improving their comfort and productivity. Also important to employees was the fact that the company chose to remain in the Holly area.
“Bar’s Products is a Michigan company, and we plan to remain in Michigan,” Mermuys said. “We’re committed to our long-time employees and our Holly community.”
The new address is 10386 North Holly Road, Holly, Mich. 48439. The phone number remains unchanged at (800) 521-7475. For more information, visit www.barsproducts.com.
