Brunswick Corp.’s Navico Group is investing in its Lowell, Mich., facility to create two new manufacturing centers focused on 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,” Navico Group president Brett Dibkey said in a statement. “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 metal fabrication center will include laser and robotic technology to produce equipment for the Attwood brand.
The battery lab and assembly capability will focus on the design and development of custom power solutions for the nearly 20 end-markets that Navico Group serves.
At the Lowell facility, Navico Group reached zero waste-to-landfill status, meaning 90% of its waste materials are being recycled, reused or otherwise eliminated.
