Growth of Alternative Energy Technologies in Michigan

By: Amanda McDonough

Manufacturing encompasses the essence of Michigan. It is in our state’s DNA. While the past speaks for itself, our future will solidify our superior position in the industry.

Although manufacturing has recently gone through a tumultuous period in Michigan, industry leaders have rolled up their sleeves and diversified into promising industries which will revive Michigan’s economy. Here at Wolverine Machine Products we are excited to be part of this group.

The last quarter has seen steady growth of manufacturing jobs largely due to the ever-growing presence of alternative energy technology companies in Michigan. From suppliers to contractors, many innovative companies are diversifying from auto parts to components of solar energy and wind turbines. We have taken advantage of this opportunity to aid Michigan in these rapidly growing industries, and partnered with a well-known company that produces solar-powered Stirling engines.

Our incredibly knowledgeable staff at Wolverine Machine has worked tirelessly to create critical components of the Stirling engine, which last at least 25 years. This advanced solar-powered engine is capable of converting 24% of the sunlight hitting the dish into electricity – a better conversion rate than most PV solar panels have.

By expanding into the alternative energy technology market, we have not only lent a hand to Michigan’s economy, but also positioned ourselves as a leading supplier.
