Dodd Russell has seen his company, Skilled Manufacturing Inc., hit rock bottom and make a comeback. In the beginning, the company only produced automotive material, now they're building parts for airplanes, too.
Just two years ago, Skilled Manufacturing Inc. received loans from the USDA, and that's what the company says helped them create jobs and expand. Today, the USDA traveled to northern Michigan to recognize that progress.
A story that's brought the manufacturer back to life, and today's visit from the USDA highlights everything they're doing right.
The USDA's State Director for Michigan also toured the facility. Skilled Manufacturing says they have moved their money to a local bank; another way to invest in their community.
