MILTON MANUFACTURING launches the premier showing of our newly produced video: AMERICAN MADE … DETROIT PROUD!

It is with great pride and pleasure that we share, with the outside world, the exciting expansions taking place at MILTON MANUFACTURING’S Galactic Headquarters located in the heart of Motown.

We have recently expanded our production capacity with the addition of a Mitsubishi NX 5′ x 10′ 6000 Watt CO2 Laser Cutting System outfitted with Auto-Flex Material Handling for “lights out” operation capability.  The new Time Saver improves edge finish off the laser and improves surface preparation for improved paint adhesion.   The addition of several “Easy Packer” machines  for “Foam in Place” capabilities strengthens our kitting and packaging abilities.  Our production floor has expanded to encompass over 200,000 square feet!

With an outstanding MILTON Team and the award of a 2011 Hub Zone Certification… MILTON MANUFACTURING is looking to the future with great expectations!

So… ladies and gentlemen without further ado…click to view… AMERICAN MADE… DETROIT PROUD!!!

Milton Manufacturing awarded HUBZone certification

By Juana on January 17, 2011

As of January 10, 2011 the US Small Business Administration has certified Milton Manufacturing as a HUBZone concern. This provides Milton Manufacturing with the opportunity to expand its government contracting growth plans and continue its track record of expansion. Milton Manufacturing President & CEO, Mr. Jim Green, states “we hope this (certification) will enable Milton Manufacturing to grow its workforce during the years to come.”

Both the Federal Government and Prime Contractors to the Federal Government have a HUBzone sourcing goal of 3%.  By obtaining this certification Milton manufacturing is helping their customers meet their subcontracting goals and consequently receive more contracts. This certification will also offer Milton Manufacturing opportunities in the federal marketplace.

The Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUBZone) Empowerment Contracting program promotes economic development and employment growth in designated urban areas with the goal of revitalizing them into sustainable communities.

While there are numerous qualifying factors in the certification application, the two key eligibility requirements state that the business must be located in a historically underutilized business zone (HUBZone) and at least 35 percent of the company employees must reside in a HUBZone. Milton has met both these requirements.

At Milton Manufacturing we take our role as a corporate citizen very seriously.

Our goal is to expand our manufacturing capabilities, provide the City with an expanded tax base and stay actively involved with various area businesses, organizations, and community groups.

The congratulatory letter that we received from the Office of the HUBZone Program ended with these words of encouragement: “We wish you the best of luck with your HUBZone certified concern – your success will help improve the economic future of the HUBZone in which you operate.”

If you would like to know more about HUBzone certification, Milton Capabilities and what Milton has to offer visit our web site and blog at www.miltonmfg.com or call us 313-366-2450.

Thanks again for being a part of our success.
