LITCHFIELD, MI (WTVB) – Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and State Senator Jonathan Lindsey were among the dignitaries on hand Monday as LuxWall Incorporated in Litchfield officially opened their new clean-energy manufacturing compound.
The new facility will host the world’s first high-volume vacuum-insulating glass production facilities which will provide advanced, energy-efficient window products to residential and commercial customers in the U.S., Canada, and Europe.
Whitmer said, “Clean energy is powering job growth and the future of advanced manufacturing right here in Michigan thanks to American companies like Luxwall. Michigan is serious about leading the future of cars, chips, and clean technology, and building the future of American energy with American workers. We have brought supply chains home and won exciting new projects across Michigan. We’ll keep working hard to deliver results for workers in Michigan and make our state the best place to invest in a bright future.”
LuxWall CEO Scott Thomsen said, “The support we received from the state of Michigan, the U.S. Department of Energy and all our local and community partners was essential to our journey here. We’re excited to be manufacturing energy efficient products that reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions in the built environment here in Michigan.”
The new site was first announced by Governor Whitmer in July 2023.
It is part of a two-phase, $165-million investment from LuxWall that officials say will create 450 jobs in the state. The company is finalizing a site in Detroit for its second facility.
