About CIS
Creative Industrial Solutions, LLC was founded in 2006 in the heart of the auto industry by Don Hutchison. With vast experience in the automotive industry, Don has held high ranking positions in both the auto manufacturing and MRO distribution arenas. He has conducted business with Fortune 500 companies, non-profit institutions and state government alike. His commitment to the state of Michigan runs deep.
Don received his undergraduate degree from Lawrence Technological University’s School of Engineering in Southfield, MI., and his graduate degree in Manufacturing Operations from Kettering University in Flint, MI. During his career, he has represented the region at the highest levels of the federal government, and even across the globe. Don has partnered with some of the largest and most promising MRO and distribution companies to bring about a customer-focused business plan that capitalizes on future growth opportunities.
Filling the Niche
Creative Industrial Solutions was founded in response to the need for increased supplier participation and cooperation in preparing and optimizing industrial firms for future growth. Don’s approach to helping companies succeed is focusing on the two critical components of any industrial facility: 1. Keeping your facility up and running and 2. Making sure the right personnel is in place to ensure growth.
As a result, Creative Industrial Solutions has earned a reputation for identifying a well-balanced match between the needs of our clients and the aspirations of our employees.
