We currently employ more than 60 innovation experts in all areas of product development including strategy, research, industrial design, engineering, manufacturing, and marketing. Our team's work encompasses many industries: automotive, office furniture, industrial, medical, consumer, and marine. To ensure that we can always provide our clients with top talent, we utilize a highly selective recruiting process. Our employees are not only highly capable but also demonstrate great attitudes and a desire to serve others.
Place
We are located in West Michigan near the beautiful, sandy shores of Lake Michigan, just three hours northeast of Chicago. Headquartered in Zeeland's Colonial Clock Building, our work environment promotes collaboration, innovative thinking, and intelligent solutions. Our workspace also features private product development rooms, a model shop where we create rapid prototypes to quickly test ideas, and a light lab where we design and evaluate new lighting products.

In addition, by hosting river cleanups, completing Habitat for Humanity projects and supporting various global ministries, Disher employees strive to make a positive difference in the world around them.
