(03/05/2015) MUSKEGON, Mich. (WZZM) -- Manufacturers in Muskegon County say they're seeing signs of a skilled labor shortage and that has the potential to impact their future growth.
ADAC Automotive operates three manufacturing facilities in Muskegon. At their newest facility workers make door handles for the Ford F-150. ADAC already employees around 900 workers in Muskegon and finding more skilled workers is becoming a challenge.
Vice president of operations Rick VandeKopple says the company needs to fill 12 specialty positions right now. "We are having more and more difficulty finding experienced people, whether it is technical staff, from a molding stand point, controls engineering, robotics engineering," said VandeKopple.
