Mike Morey Sr., along with his wife and co-owner Dianne (Di) Morey launched Bandit Industries, and the cuddly raccoon known as ‘Bandit' into industry powerhouse status in the blink of an eye. The first stand-alone building was soon eclipsed as the company grew rapidly, expanding and building a new facility every few years. Present manufacturing facilities exceed 270,000 square feet at two locations, Millbrook and North Winn Roads, between Mt. Pleasant and Remus, MI. Bandit's strength lies heavily in the quality and commitment of its employees. Many have been with the company for two decades, and have been promoted from within. With each expansion, Bandit sought out and hired hard-working, local talent. Jerry Morey and Dennis Tracy joined the Bandit team in 1987, becoming part-owners along with Mike and Di. The company quickly grew through the 1990s, from employing the "original six" to over 200 employees. With Bandit's global workforce nearly doubling in recent years, the manufacturing company employs over 450 people, and is one of mid-Michigan's leading employers. read more
