Andiamo Opens New location in Fenton

In 1989 when Andiamo opened its first Italian restaurant, the goal was simple – deliver fine Italian cuisine by using the freshest seasonal ingredients and prepare them from scratch each and every day. This goal set by the late Master Chef Aldo Ottaviani was achieved and as a result Andiamo exceeded all expectations, expanding to eight metro Detroit locations. Andiamo has never strayed from its founding principles and continues to provide exceptional service and authentic Italian cuisine prepared by hand every day.

“The facility could have gone to China, or anywhere else in the world. They decided to stay in Grand Blanc Township and it’s a great boon for our area,” .

Magna currently has approximately 700 employees in the area.

GM Supplier of the year opens new facility

Shannon Precision Fastener


The Shannon Precision Fastener distribution center opened on Jan. 2,. The company hosted an official grand opening celebration to coincide with St. Patrick's Day because of the owner's Irish heritage.

The Holly Township facility on Dixie Highway is the fourth in Michigan for Shannon Precision Fasteners. The company's manufacturing plants are located in Madison Heights and Auburn Hills.

The site is big enough for five of these plants. The ground across the street has already been prepared for a 150,000 square foot building that will employ 100 people. They should break ground on that in a couple of years.
