Pratt & Miller Expanding Beyond Racing into Defense Contracting
THIS WEEK IN PRINT
by Gerald Scott
New Hudson-based Pratt & Miller is wildly famous as an auto supplier and aftermarket and motor racing
firm, but its perhaps less famous as a defense contractor.
Nonetheless, P&M has been making great strides on the defense industry front.
Just last week at the big, two-day NDIA/Michigan Defense Industrial Base Expo at
Macomb College in Warren, Pratt & Miller had a recruiting booth among 30 or more contractors displaying at the
show.
Staffing the booth for Pratt were recruiter Sandy McKinnon and Sara Blackmer,
director, Government Markets.
