In 1982 MichCon, Michigan’s Consolidated Gas Company, built a state of the art 72,866 square foot data center at 5225 Auto Club Drive. The data center was upgraded again in 1994, after being purchased by Affiliated Computer Services, and shuttered in 1997 resulting in a layoff of 120 workers.  The legacy data center was recently sold to Holding Source LLC, with the aim to redevelop the property. Holding Source LLC has built and developed a huge amount of property in Dearborn and is definitely one of the premier pillars of the community.

Quantum’s mission was to create several hundred thousand dollars of cash for Holding Source by decommissioning and reselling the assets from the data center. Quantum has recently opened a division to specialize in difficult to acquire Switchgear, Electrical panels and Pad Mount Transformers.  Due to supply chain constraints since Covid, lead times are unbelievably long and prices are through the ceiling. Quantum stepped in to fill the gap. With 2 warehousing facilities, one in Shippensburg and one in Philadelphia PA, Quantum is able to inventory a tremendous amount of equipment and offer it to companies across the country at competitive prices. Data Center jobs like this one allow Quantum to recover infrastructure equipment and put it back into productive use.
