Farmington's Brooks Utility consolidates, creates jobs

Brooks Utility Products is consolidating and expanding its operations in Farmington Hills, thereby creating several more jobs along the way.

The supplier of metering-related products for the utility industry is consolidating a plant from Canton, Ohio into its Farmington Hills headquarters. That's after the company, which was acquired by Tyden Group Holdings last fall, expanded its production space and staff earlier this year.

"They were getting more business from the utility and wanted to make room for that," says Julie Pompa, spokeswoman for Brooks Utility Products.

That equates to 35 percent more manufacturing and warehousing space and a 20 percent increase in staffing levels. Today Brooks Utility Products employs 64 people and hopes to either hire more or welcome transfers from its Ohio operations later this year.

"It's a bit of a lengthy process that they are starting," Pompa says.
