Cascade manufacturer evolves into wind energy

As Michigan sits on the cusp of what researchers and business leaders say is a new energy economy, one West Michigan manufacturer is ahead of the curve and already ramping up for production.

Early this summer, probably in June, the plastic products manufacturing company will begin production of blades and rotors for the Swift Rooftop Wind Energy System, which has been produced in Scotland for almost five years. Other components of the Swift electrical generator turbine will be shipped to Cascade Engineering, which will assemble the complete turbine and serve as exclusive distributor of it throughout the U.S. and Canada.
