Nimlok Expanding to Lansing Market, Adding Up to Seven Jobs Statewide

Nimlok Grand Rapids is in the middle of a statewide expansion that includes opening up the Lansing market.

Nimlok Grand Rapids is an independently owned and operated authorized distributor for the Nimlok Company, a global solutions provider for the trade show industry.

“Lansing is a viable market for us,” says Derrick Johnson, company co-owner. Nimlok is already working with East Lansing-based Outer Graphics, but hopes to open to a physical space in the next few months.

"We’re still in the development plans, and haven’t found a spot yet in Lansing to call home,” says Johnson. “Our goal over the next six months is to bring in someone."

Nimlok sets up trade shows for large and small companies and has worked with General Motors, Stryker Corporation and Gordon Food Service.

“There isn’t really a specific company that we target,” Johnson says.

Nimlok is also moving into Detroit. Johnson says the added markets will mean up to seven new jobs and $1 million in new revenue.
