H O W A SPRING MANUFACTURER IS HELPING TO

BiJi/u; ?:ii-::i3 orrs fuiisrie.

As the largest independent spring manufacturer in the United States and a major provider of com ponents for the automotive industry, Peterson Spring is a leading driver of Detroit’s economy. They also supply springs and other parts to large manufacturers around the world. When Peterson Spring needed strategic assistance in preparing for future growth, they turned to Bank of America. W e responded with flexible financial solutions, like equipment financing, to help them operate more efficiently and create more jobs.

Peterson Spring is another example of how we’re working to help small businesses grow and hire in Detroit — and across the country. In 2011, we provided $471.1 million in new credit to small businesses in Michigan — an increase of 7% from 2010.
