A company that makes manufacturing systems is expanding in the region.

Tric Tool is investing $694,546 on a 6,000-square-foot expansion at its 26,000-square-foot facility in Holland Township, at 3760 John F. Donnelly Dr., according to Lakeshore Advantage yesterday.

The project by the Holland Township-based company will give it more floor space for completing larger projects. The machines the company makes have to be laid out as they would be used in a facility, so the manufacturing process can take up a lot of floor space. 

The expansion is nearly compete and is expected to create about five jobs.

Zeeland-based Lakeshore Advantage, an economic development organization, worked with the company to connect it with local resources to support the expansion.

Holland Township approved an Industrial Facilities Tax Exemption over 12 years to support the project.

Tric Tool serves the automotive, office, medical and construction industries.
