Navico Group, a division of Brunswick Group, announced a multimillion-dollar investment in its Lowell, Michigan manufacturing facility to create two new Centers of Excellence in metal fabrication and electrification.

“Navico Group is committed to being a leader in metal fabrication and electrification for the industries we serve, and this investment is a testament to that,” says Brett Dibkey, Navico Group president. “The new manufacturing capabilities that we are implementing in the Lowell facility will enhance product development agility and speed-to-market.  Additionally, our focus on custom battery development supports Brunswick’s broader electrification efforts as part of our overall ACES strategy.”

The centers will help increase quality, capacity, efficiency and product manufacturing capabilities. The metal fabrication center will be equipped with the latest laser and robotic fabrication technology, while the new battery lab and assembly will further design and development of custom power solutions.

“The new battery facility is another example of our commitment to developing and delivering world-class low- and high-voltage electrification solutions to our customers around the world,” adds Dibkey. “The shift to electrification is taking place in the industries that we serve, and this investment allows us to immediately serve our global customers.”

Additionally, Lowell is the first Navico Group site to reach zero waste-to-landfill status, with 90% of its waste materials being recycled, reused or otherwise eliminated.

“The decision by Navico to expand its manufacturing capabilities in Michigan underscores our state’s leadership in future mobility and electrification, as well as the strength of our business climate and talented workforce,” says MEDC State of Michigan Chief Mobility Officer Justine Johnson. “We’re pleased to join our local partners in supporting this expansion, and look forward to working with the company as it continues to grow and add jobs for Michigan residents.”
