An automotive engineering firm celebrated its acquisition by an Indian automaker and its subsequent expansion in a reception October 24. Farmington Hills-based Design Intent Engineering Inc. was founded in 1999 by its CEO, Matthew R. Pyzik, and three partners. The four had worked together for a large auto supplier as a "fire department" fixing troubled parts projects. Last June, Design Intent was acquired by Eicher Motors Ltd., an Indian builder of trucks, buses and motorcycles. Since then, Eicher has invested almost $1 million in Design Intent, including an advanced prototypingsystem. Employment has also risen by seven positions and now totals 70.
Pyzik said the acquisition gives Design Intent greater resources and a worldwide reach, and that the company will now offer more services with "emerging sectors," such as advanced materials and alternative energy power plants. Pyzik said the company's projecting 40 percent employment growth over the next 18 months. More about Eicher at www.eicherworld.com. More about Design Intent at www.designintenteng.com.
