German-based Mackevision to move office to downtown Ferndale

metromode, 8/7/2008

Another business is about to move into downtown Ferndale. The latest addition is the office of German-based Mackevision, which is bringing seven people with it when it relocates by the end of this year.

"We enjoy the Detroit area and look forward to growing in it," says John Wyland, executive vice president of Mackevision.

The high-end visualization house does everything from 3D animation to visual effects to storyboard development. Its clients include high-end automakers, such as Mercedes and BMW. It has won awards for animation, public relations and imagery.

Even though it was founded in Germany 14 years ago, Mackevision opened a Metro Detroit office in January, 2007 in downtown Pontiac. The company has added a few jobs in that time and expects to add a handful more in the near future as it grows into the southeast Michigan market.
