Rigid-hull inflatable boat manufacturer Highfield Boats recently announced that it opened a 50,000-square foot warehouse and rigging facility in Cadillac, Mich. The operation is expected to be fully operational this month.
“We are thrilled to take advantage of this opportunity to open a centrally located U.S. facility,” Christophe Lavigne, president of Highfield Boats USA, said in a statement. “Our large-boat business in North America has been growing rapidly, and this substantial investment in real estate, personnel, and equipment is a testament to our commitment to supporting that growth.”
In addition, the company announced that it made three key hires for its Cadillac team. Melinda Rush is charged with supply-chain management, Tom McCleod will serve as rigging and assembly manager and Josh Davis will come aboard as a boat rigger.
