After the daily assault of bad news, it was
really great to see recent reports of good news
for local businesses.
First, Lowry Computer Products Inc., of
Brighton (Green Oak Twp) is one of three
suppliers that won part of a $75 million multi-
year contract from the U.S. Army. Lowry has
been a bar code leader for many years and has
moved into the passive radio frequency
identification (RFID) field, too.
The contract deals with ways to track military
equipment through RFID, and Lowry is the prime
contractor. Motorola and Zebra Technologies,
Inc., of Illinois are the other two companies
listed in the agreement.
A Crain's Detroit Business article stated that
the effect of this contract for new hires,
expansion or other area impacts are uncertain at
this time - but it sure can't hurt!
Liquid Manufacturing of Brighton (Green Oak Twp)
had a site plan approved that will let the
company modify its existing building and add
additional work shifts, but will not create many
new on-site jobs.
Liquid Manufacturing is a brewing and distilling
company on Whitmore Lake Rd and is planning to
add 30 new product lines that include energy
beverages and water brands. They are at the old
Thermofil site.
