Local company seeks reorganization after liabilities climb to $3.5 million

Precision Manufacturing Group filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on May 4. The case was filed voluntarily in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Michigan.

Facility located on East Laketon Avenue

Precision operates a 24,000-square-foot facility at 2176 E. Laketon Ave. near US-31. It offers engineering services, metal fabrication, machining and welding services according to the companys website.

Bankruptcy filings show significant debt burden
