Fluid Chillers, Inc., a Lansing company that makes cooling systems for beer fermentation tanks, NASA spacecraft, and laser cooling systems, is planning an expansion.
The company will invest $1.4m to make over a vacant building next door to McLaren Orthopedic Hospital. Fluid Chillers will use the property to expand its assembly and engineering departments, and its offices. The building, which comprises 14,000 square feet, was once used by McLaren as a storage facility. The expansion brings 15 new jobs with it.
Tim and Tom Ayers started Fluid Chillers in 2007 in the same area in which it now operates. In 2015, the company grew 35%, according to Tim Ayers. The company has an international presence, and does business with cities in the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait, where it supplies water cooling systems to cities there. Fluid Chillers has 35 employees.
Karl Dorshimer, who is the Lansing Economic Area Partnership’s director of business development, said the company is representative of the type of manufacturing Lansing is known for. The city will reimburse Fluid Chillers $328,740 over 12 years to cover its costs for brownfield remediation as the renovation takes place. For their part, the Ayers brothers said they were happy to remain in Lansing
