Detroit Manufacturing Systems is in the process of hiring 200 people for its new manufacturing facility near Brightmoor.
The company specializes in making automotive interior systems and employs about 750 people. It took over an older plant in 2012 to build the new aluminum body for the Ford F-150 pickup.
"The facility, the former Massey Ferguson plant, was ideal for manufacturing and is located near Brightmoor, one of Detroit's most underserved communities," Andra M. Rush, chair and CEO of
Detroit Manufacturing Systems, wrote in an email.
Detroit Manufacturing Systems recently held two job fairs in November to begin filling the 200 positions. Those jobs are mostly entry-level positions that are full-time and come with benefits. The firm expects to fill them by January. Click

"We're always looking for talented people," Rush wrote in an email.
