Born In A Recession (2007 - 2008)
With a humble beginning reminiscent of how the most iconic American companies got their start, Bob and Heidi Devroy turned their home garage into a workspace and Prosper-Tech was born. The company's focus was building plastic injection tooling molds for the automotive industry. Even in the midst of a recession, their hard-work, ingenuity, and expertise prevailed, allowing the company to prosper even in extremely difficult economic times.
Finding Our Stride (2008-2015)
Prosper-Tech soon found its stride within the manufacturing world. Operating out of a 3,600 square foot facility in Lenox, MI, the company’s growing production abilities and work force was followed by an increased workload and expanding number of satisfied customers.
Finding themselves outgrowing its surrounds once again in 2013, Prosper-Tech renovated and moved to a 10,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility in Richmond. In 2015, the company became ISO 9001 certified to ensure its products and services could meet higher quality standards.
Pivoting To Production Machining (2015-2021)
During the next five years, Prosper-Tech started to build the foundation to pivot from building injection tooling molds to production machining. The company invested in robotics to enable “lights-out” machining to meet growing demand. With higher production runs the company added a dedicated Quality Lab on site and achieved AS9100 certification.
They also attained NIST 800-171 cybersecurity compliance which lead to diversification in the defense, aerospace and space sectors. Growth in these sectors in production machining prompted Prosper-Tech to add new turning and part-marking capabilities.
Investing in Continued Growth (2022-Present)
Prosper-Tech is committed to investing in their growth to meet customer demand for production machining. As part of this plan, Prosper-Tech invested in growing the business in 2022 and 2023 with purchase of additional CNC mills and CNC lathes, expansion of automation capabilities, and implementation of an ERP/MES system to better meet the needs of customers.
Also in 2022, Prosper-Tech announced the succession plan for the company’s leadership with the onboarding of the second-generation owners as Vice Presidents. This announcement signaled the company’s plan for future long-term growth and continued dedication to building a strong, sustainable business with excellent employee culture, customer satisfaction and high ethical standards.
