MEDC Helps Attract BorgWarner's New Facility to Marshall

BorgWarner Cooling Systems of Michigan Inc. will build a research and development facility in Marshall, MI. The Michigan Economic Development Corp. encouraged the project by making a competitive business case to expand in Michigan with a Single Business Tax credit, an abatement of the six-mill state education tax and job training assistance.

BorgWarner selected Marshall over Indianapolis for its new high-technology research and development facility. The facility will create 180 new jobs, 59 directly by the company, for Michigan workers.

The new facility will house all of the company’s U.S.-based research, product and applications engineers and technicians. It will develop engine cooling system solutions for improved engine temperature management. The project includes a company investment of $7.7 million, with land, building, machinery and equipment costs. Of the new jobs, 121 spin-off jobs will be created from increased spending by people who receive income from the jobs at the BorgWarner Cooling Systems of Michigan Inc., according to an economic analysis done by the University of Michigan.
