“From family-owned and homegrown in small-town Charlotte to an innovative global heavyweight industry player, we have witnessed The Shyft Group’s impressive expansion across the US in recent years under CEO Daryl Adam’s leadership and team,” said Bob Trezise, president and CEO of the Lansing Economic Area Partnership (LEAP). “The competition from other communities and states is intense for a growing company like Shyft. Our collective economic package won the day to benefit the community and its people, our region, and Michigan.”

Shyft is nearly tripling its current capacity. By bringing hundreds of employees to Charlotte and Michigan, Shyft is making a massive investment into an important community in the Lansing region. Charlotte’s Mayor Michael Armitage expressed excitement for this move in bringing new jobs to their community.
