Many businesses work to make things. Fewer businesses work to make things better.
Shinola fit squarely into that second category—with a spirit that understood and embraced the value of an object well- made, while working to bring jobs and opportunity to their beloved city of Detroit. And it was this celebration of great design in everyday objects that served as the inspiration for Shinola’s new Power Supply products. When Shinola reached out to us back in 2016 to bring their vision to life, we knew pretty quickly that it was more than just an order to be filled. Although the whole power project was new ground for them, it’s what we do…and we’re good at it. We’d been in the power business for over four decades at that point—right here in West Michigan—and nothing makes us happier than forging partnerships with other local companies that value community, quality, and innovation. Partnering with Shinola also led to some exciting growth here at Byrne, including the construction of our new Pickle Docks facility in Lakeview, Michigan. It was a move which brought jobs back to a historic Michigan community that, years ago, saw a factory close on the land where our building stands today. A building where—every day—we assemble Power Supply products worthy of the Shinola name. And ours.
