Flow-Rite Trades Workstations for Construction Site

A team of Flow-Rite employees recently traded their office and manufacturing workstations for a construction site when they volunteered for a Habitat for Humanity project. Together, the group of eight worked to help a local Grand Rapids, Michigan family pursue their dreams of attaining safe, clean, and affordable housing. Flow-Rite is a leading manufacturer of injection-molded battery watering and fluid control components, and related IoT devices.

“One of Flow-Rite’s core values is to serve a greater purpose,” said company president Todd Hart. “By volunteering, our team members have done something beyond themselves. Their hard work has the potential to positively impact a family for generations to come.” Flow-Rite has a long history of community involvement throughout the Kent County, Michigan area.
