L&L Products expands Michigan production facility

L&L Products Inc. (Romeo, Mich., U.S.), a family-owned business-to-business company offering solutions for applications requiring static sealing, better acoustics, reduced vibration, structural reinforcement and composite components, announces the grand opening of its expanded production facilities in the Village of Romeo to accommodate automotive growth and diversification. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was attended by L&L shareholders, the L&L executive team, employees and special guests from the local community.

The facility has grown from 322,974 square feet to 464,528 square feet, completing the four-phase site plan that was established when L&L purchased the 26-acre site in 1993. The completed facility now features a main aisle that stretches for nearly a quarter mile (1,194 feet), connecting the warehouse to manufacturing areas for greater flexibility. 

The additional warehouse space was designed to maximize manufacturing, improve material flow and increase flexibility for future growth in both manufacturing and warehousing.

“This expansion will allow us to continue to delight and grow with our customer partners and invest in our future with new exciting products,” John Babi, director of operations at L&L Products Romeo, says. “Our shareholders believe in the L&L team, the community supports us and our employees make it happen daily. Without this, the expansion would not be possible.”

Supported by a $450,000 Michigan Business Development Program performance-based grant, the project brings an approximate $25 million capital investment to the region and will help ensure the company’s continued growth in Michigan with approximately 65 new jobs to be associated with the expansion.

L&L Products was founded in Almont, Mich., U.S. in 1958 and has production facilities around the world. The company currently employs approximately 550 Michiganders.
