Local manufacturer, Amphenol Borisch Technologies (ABT), recently announced it will invest $3.7 million to expand its operations in Kentwood. As a result, the company, located on East Paris Avenue in Kentwood, will add 82 jobs to its headquarters campus. ABT builds complex electromechanical assemblies, cable harnesses, circuit cards and discrete mechanicals for the aerospace and defense industries. The company employs more than 400 people at five North American locations. The Kentwood headquarters campus, which includes two buildings, employs nearly 200 people. The expansion will allow ABT to renovate portions of this existing facility, and purchase new machinery and equipment. “Amphenol is proud to be reinvesting in West Michigan with this expansion,” said Bob Brunetz, General Manager, Amphenol Borisch Technologies. “With the support of The Right Place and the MEDC, we were able to make this project happen right here in Kentwood.”
