Greenblendz buys Auburn Hills facility, to create 47 jobs

Most people know not to ingest toxic chemicals, like cleaning products, but you'd be surprised to learn how many don’t know that you shouldn't pour them down the drain ...and into our waterways and environment.

Greenblendz plans to change that dynamic by investing here in Metro Detroit. The Arizona-based start-up designs manufacturing processes for commercial cleaning agents using new nano-technology that makes them more environmentally friendly. These include cleaning chemicals, personal care and antimicrobial coatings.

Greenblendz is spending $795,000 to buy a vacant chemical manufacturing facility in Auburn Hills. The investment is expected to create 47 new hires at the site.

The Michigan Economic Growth Authority approved $11.3 million in tax incentives to convince Greenblendz to set up shop in Metro Detroit instead of in Ohio or North Carolina.
