Business is booming at the
Grand Rapids Chair Company. Founded in 1997, the business manufactures seating and tables for corporate, commercial and hospitality environments.
Citing both an uptick in the economy and new product launches, Dean Jeffery, communication manager, says the firm has immediate openings for up to 20 positions at their new Byron Center-based facility. "We experienced a lull in the past couple of years. Our customers had no commitment to update spaces," Jeffrey says. "It is now stabilized and there is growth and activity. We are redoing schools, restaurants and offices. There is much more confidence in the economy."
Besides the renewed confidence, Jeffery also attributes their growth and aggressive hiring needs to the launch of five new product collections.
The open positions are primarily skilled labor and include general labor, welders, spray finishers and upholsterers. Jeffery says the company offers great pay, benefits, training and tremendous career opportunities. He notes there is no third shift at the firm, adding to the work-life balance and quality of life for all employees. He describes the new facility in Byron Center as modern and "state-of-the-art."
The company is located at 1250 84th Street SW, Byron Center, Michigan and has over 140 employees in both office and warehouse positions. Jeffrey encourages job seekers to send their resume to
