Why Grand Rapids

Why GRAM Continues Investing in Grand Rapids

Located in West Michigan, Grand Rapids has the special sauce.

The public-private collaboration, booming health and life sciences scene, intentional planning, and culture of togetherness set the city apart. Not to mention, the proximity to Lake Michigan, Northern Michigan, vibrant downtown areas, and extensive recreational activities give the city an even greater appeal.

Grand River Aseptic Manufacturing (“GRAM”) is considered an extension of the medical mile as we are next to Grand Valley State University and down the street from Michigan State University’s Innovation Center, Corewell Health, Devos Children’s Hospital, Trinity Health, and more. The flourishing life science sector holds an array of opportunities to build knowledge, skills, and partnerships.

We often hear from clients that our team and the relationships built are unique across the pharma industry.

People here are determined to help others and have a great ability to work together and find solutions. The combination of education, businesses, and the collaborative mindset of local leaders result in motivated, highly skilled, and community-minded professionals with various experiences.

West Michigan uses its foundation of healthcare, education, and collaborative spirit to give people access to the training needed to obtain the high-quality and purpose-driven careers that give people a reason to stay in West Michigan. Here, anything is achievable.
