Roll & Hill is a lighting and furniture manufacturer based in Brooklyn, New York. It’s known for design-minded, high-end lighting and furniture.

In 2020, it opened a production facility in the City of Wyoming. Two years later, Roll & Hill plans to open a second location in Wyoming committed to producing design lighting.

Jason Miller is Creative Director and CEO of Roll & Hill, he explained, “Our experience opening our first location in Wyoming was exceptional, and we’re looking forward to establishing our second.”

With an assist from regional economic development organization, The Right Place, and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation approving a $300,000 performance-based grant, Roll & Hill is making a $1.5 million capitol investment and will add 50 jobs at the new location.
