DETROIT--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sharrow Engineering and its marine division, Sharrow Marine, announced today a major expansion into a new 60,000-square-foot manufacturing facility at Eastland Commerce Center in Harper Woods, part of Metro Detroit.

By investing in local talent and cutting-edge facilities, we’re positioned to bring the same transformation to aerospace, defense, and energy that we already brought to the marine industry. It’s an exciting new chapter as we set out to redefine what’s possible in propulsion on a global scale.”
