SAGINAW, Mich. — Saginaw Control & Engineering plans a $50 million expansion in Saginaw County that will add at least 95 jobs and extend the footprint of one of the region’s established manufacturing companies.
The project centers on a new 230,000-square-foot facility in Thomas Township, along with machinery and equipment purchases tied to continued growth. The expansion will support operations across the company’s two local locations in Saginaw County.
The company, headquartered on Midland Road in Saginaw Township, has served the electrical industry since 1963 and manufactures standard and custom electrical enclosures as well as precision sheet metal fabrications. Its products are used across industries including robotics, agriculture, food and beverage, and data centers.
The new jobs will start above the regional median wage and include benefits. The company’s benefits package includes medical, dental and vision coverage beginning on the first day of employment, with the company covering employee health insurance premiums for its plan.
State support for the project includes a $570,000 performance-based grant through the Michigan Business Development Program. Thomas Township also anticipates approval of a real property tax abatement tied to the new construction, and the Michigan Economic Development Corp. authorized a State Education Tax abatement to pair with local support.
The expansion adds to a manufacturing base that remains central to the Saginaw area economy. For local officials, the investment is both a jobs announcement and a sign that an established employer is choosing to grow in its home market rather than shift production elsewhere.
The company’s growth has been steady for years. Saginaw Control & Engineering reported year-over-year growth since 2009, including a 15% increase in 2025, creating the need for more production space and equipment as it seeks to increase market share.
For a region that has spent years trying to hold onto industrial employers while creating new opportunities, the project stands out as a substantial private investment with immediate hiring implications. Job seekers can apply through the company’s careers portal.
