IV company to build $500M Detroit facility after Trump announcement in Saudi Arabia

**Airforceguy** · May-14-25, 04:31 PM

The doctor-turned-investor is the majority owner of Bloomfield Hills-based holding company Shamekh IV Solutions — funded by his family’s Wixom-based medical distribution conglomerate J&B Medical — which was among a handful of companies announced as part of a mutual investment agreement announced by President Donald Trump this week. Shamekh IV plans to invest $5.8 billion in the global production of intravenous fluids and genomic products, starting in Saudi Arabia under the subsidiary Shamekh Life Sciences.

But just like Shaya, Shamekh will return home with a planned $500 million investment in the city of Detroit to build a similar plant as part of the larger project. The plan calls for a five-acre property with a 125,000-square-foot building, Shaya told Crain’s Wednesday, only an hour after arriving back from Ryad. The plan includes housing for employees and a workforce development program.

“We want to reimagine the supply chain,” Shaya said. “I’m from Detroit, so it makes sense to open something here. And we’ve seen just how fragile the supply chain is.”

That picture above may qualify as the ugliest and dreariest architectural rendering ever.

I suspect it was created on the fly, like on a really tight schedule, like someone demanded the graphic be released RIGHT NOW!

^Yes. Looks like some of the buildings along Northwestern in Southfield near Evergreen or along Schoolcraft, Livonia. STEM job opportunities with standing the architherial shortcomings!

It's sad the the TDS has gotten so bad that we have to put this announcement down. Maybe leftist protesters can sabotage the construction site, that'll REALLY show Trump.

Any protestors you refer to are better referred to as Freedom Fighters. But then, I’m not in the cult.

We shall see if this project, announced as Trump was kowtowing to the jihadist Saudis, comes to pass.

You didn't enjoy seeing your president shaking hands with the guy who recently murdered an American journalist?
