The Economic Development Alliance (EDA) of St. Clair County is delighted to announce the expansion of Sunsation Products, a renowned family-owned boat manufacturer.
Specializing in high-performance center console boats, Sunsation is the sole boat builder in the region, prompting the need for a new facility due to surging customer demand. Investing $7.7 million, the company plans to construct a cutting-edge manufacturing facility and create 20 high-paying jobs.
Founded in 1982, Sunsation’s success story began in a small garage near the original Chris Craft factory. Despite considering out-of-state options, Sunsation opted to stay in Michigan, leveraging the state’s prominence as the third-largest marine market in the U.S.
The expansion is supported by a $350,000 Michigan Business Development Program grant and a 50% property tax abatement from Cottrellville Township, reinforcing Sunsation’s commitment to community growth.
