DornerWorks opens engineering office in Novi, plans for 10-15 hires

DornerWorks is moving east and setting up a Metro Detroit office this year.

The Grand Rapids-based engineering firm is in the process of opening up an office in Novi that will serve its clients in the tri-county, Flint and Ann Arbor areas. Five employees will seed the Metro Detroit office, which is expected to hold 15-20 people by the end of the year.

"Our business on the east side of the state has been growing dramatically in the last 9-12 months," says Jason Lovell, vice president of sales & marketing for DornerWorks
. "To better service our customers on the east side we want to be closer to them. And we want to attract some new customers."

DornerWorks specializes mainly in aerospace engineering services. However, the Novi location will primarily handle engineering work in the automotive, medical and industrial sectors.
