FISHER/UNITECH Honored as One of the 2010 "Michigan 50 Companies to Watch"

I am thrilled to announce that FISHER/UNITECH has been honored as one of the 2010 "Michigan 50 Companies to Watch."  The "Michigan 50" is an awards program sponsored by the Edward Lowe Foundation and presented by Michigan Celebrates Small Business.  FISHER/UNITECH will be honored at an awards ceremony during the sixth annual Michigan Celebrates Small Business event, April 29th in Lansing, Michigan.

The foundation of our application for the award was our focus on social and community responsibility in 2009.  Faced with unstable economic conditions, we launched a very successful community service program to retrain displaced engineers, increasing their marketability and skill development.  While the industry was reeling from the negative impact of a 14% and growing unemployment rate in Michigan, FISHER/UNITECH announced "No Engineer Left Behind," a comprehensive training program that equated to a $250,000 goodwill investment into the local manufacturing community.  The company's efforts resulted in the delivery of three-day training classes to over 250 displaced workers throughout an eight state area.
