MADISON HEIGHTS, Mich., May 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Geotab, a global leader in connected transportation, video and asset tracking solutions, has officially opened a new engineering center in metro Detroit Michigan, strengthening its presence at the heart of the North American automotive industry. The facility, located at 31435 Stephenson Highway, will create up to 40 engineering roles over the next several years.
The new facility serves as a dedicated product development and innovation hub. Engineering teams based in Metro Detroit will develop next-generation connected transportation solutions that help fleet organizations make smarter, and more cost efficient data driven decisions. Proximity to Geotab’s key OEM partners including Ford, GM, and Stellantis enables faster iteration and tighter collaboration with the companies reshaping the future of transportation.

“Michigan is open for business and on the move,” said Governor Whitmer. “Geotab’s new engineering center of excellence will create good-paying jobs researching and developing new technologies that keep people safe on the road and help businesses improve efficiency. We’re working hard to help companies expand, develop their next great idea, and hire skilled workers right here in Michigan. Let’s keep getting it done.”
The center is supported by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) through the Michigan Business Development Program, and has been welcomed by Oakland County, the Detroit Regional Partnership, and the Madison Heights Community & Economic Development office.
“Geotab keeps tabs on the wheels that make the world go around.

Geotab’s growth in our state is proof that if you have an idea to make vehicles (or anything else) better, you can make it in Michigan,” said Quentin L. Messer Jr., CEO of the MEDC.
“This engineering center in metro Detroit puts us at the center of the automotive ecosystem – closer to our partners and customers, Michigan’s world-class engineering talent drawn from institutions such as the University of Michigan, Michigan State and other top learning institutions, making it a natural home for Geotab’s next phase of growth” said Neil Cawse, Founder and CEO of Geotab.
