New Eagle moved into a new office in Ann Arbor last year and has been growing its staff and bottom line since.
The automotive, energy-efficiency company took over a 21,000-square-foot space on the city's western outskirts. It has spent equal parts of the last few months working on its hybrid technology and modernizing its new home.
"We took it from an old, dingy commercial space to a collaborative office," says Rich Swortzel, president of
New Eagle. "It's open. It’s a fun environment."
The 6-year-old company specializes in hybrid technology for the automotive sector. Its recently released Raptor platform helps create fuel-savings for heavy vehicles like garbage trucks. It accomplishes that with a connected and distributed control system that is advanced, scalable, self-diagnosing, and remotely controllable.
"The goal is to mature it and grow it," Swortzel says.
New Eagle has enjoyed growing sales of technology both domestically and internationally recently. International sales accounted for half of the company’s revenue over the last year. That has allowed the company hire a handful of people over the last year.
