The
goal of building a new manufacturing plant and hiring a 50-person
workforce by the end of 2009 brought the Hayward-based Nemat Management
Group to break ground for a new manufacturing plant at 19343 Road 24 in
Madera.
Owner Mike Nemat and his wife Leila Shahnavaz welcomed
dignitaries and civic leaders to the event, which featured gold-headed
shovels to turn over the ceremonial dirt.
The plant will provide
high-precision production machining services through Computer Numeric
Control devices with precision dimensions measured to the
specifications of its customers. He said the workforce he intends to
hire will be trained for machining, welding and assembly at their
Hayward plant or in Detroit.
Nemat looked at several other sites when deciding where to build his manufacturing plant.
"For awhile it felt like the EDC was becoming a satellite office," Nemat said.
He
complimented Madera and Bobby Kahn, executive director of the Madera
County Economic Development Commission, saying that after meeting with
a representative of the Fresno EDC office, he canceled all his other
Fresno meetings because he knew he wanted to build in Madera.
