Howell Manufacturing Plant Fire Causes Minor Damage
February 18, 2018
Damage was termed minor in a fire Saturday morning at the Groupo Antolin North America plant – formerly Atreum – in Howell Township. The company is located on West Grand River, across the road from the Livingston County Spencer J. Hardy Airport. The Howell Area Fire Department responded to the scene and remained for about an hour. Fire officials say the blaze started when a blower motor on the roof caught fire. Damage was confined to the roof and smokestack and there were no injuries. The company, headquartered in Auburn Hills, makes interior components for the automotive industry including seats, doors, lighting and overhead systems. (TT)
