ATESTEO North America Inc., a German company that develops and tests drivetrains, is moving forward with plans to invest $26 million in East Lansing after the City Council approved financial incentives.

If the company stops business in East Lansing before Dec. 30, 2032, ATESTEO will have to pay back all of the tax exemptions.
The company plans to sped around $700,000 in building renovations for the building off of West Road and to spend $26 million on machinery and equipment in the first five years.
