Cumulus Consulting Expands to Western Michigan with New Office in Kalamazoo
Investment reflects accelerating middle-market growth and a commitment to partnerships built to last in the industries Cumulus Consulting serves
KALAMAZOO, Mich. — May 20, 2026 — Cumulus Consulting is opening a new office in Kalamazoo to create a regional hub for consulting and technology teams that serve manufacturers across the Great Lakes region and beyond.
“Our middle-market clients want a partner who knows them, who shows up and who is investing in their region for the long haul,” said David Chidsey, President of Cumulus Consulting. “Kalamazoo gives us a stronger platform to do exactly that.”
Headquartered in Troy, Michigan, Cumulus Consulting’s expansion to a second Michigan office in the heart of southwestern Michigan will allow its experts in ERP cloud systems to be closer to manufacturing clients investing in modernization and seeking a partner with local, in-person resources.
Partnerships Built to Last
The office expansion follows a strong run of growth for Cumulus, including its acquisition of the Plex practice of Columbus, Ohio-based Revolution Group on May 1. The acquisition makes Cumulus Consulting the nation’s largest, dedicated partner of Plex by Rockwell, a cloud-based smart manufacturing platform that connects, automates, tracks and analyzes manufacturing operations.
The Kalamazoo location will support hiring across consulting, delivery and customer success roles. It will also host client workshops and industry roundtables.
“We’re hiring locally, partnering locally and committing to this community for the long term,” Chidsey said.
Expanded Resources for Michigan’s Middle Market
The Kalamazoo office expands capacity across the core service lines at Cumulus, including Plex ERP, Plex MES/MOM, Plex QMS and many others.
Clients in the region will benefit from faster on-site response, deeper bench strength and dedicated industry expertise tailored to Michigan’s mix of advanced manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, food and beverage, life sciences and others.
The investment marks the next chapter in the Cumulus story — one defined by deliberate regional growth, deep client relationships and a rhythm of expansion that follows client needs.
