Aftermarket air suspension manufacturer Air Lift Company has been selected as one of “West Michigan’s Best & Brightest Companies to Work For” for the third year in a row.

Air Lift representatives attended the “West Michigan’s Best & Brightest Companies to Work For” gala and awards program on Tuesday, May 7, at the JW Marriott in downtown Grand Rapids, where the company received an Elite Award for excellence in Communication and Shared Vision. This award acknowledges Air Lift as the leader in keeping employees informed and working toward the same goal.
