Michael Rogers, vice president communications at the Small Business Association of Michigan, talks with Preh Inc. President Nick Lontscharitsch. Preh was named a Crain’s Cool Place to Work 2014. Preh designs and manufactures control systems for automotive interiors — the systems behind the buttons on center consoles and steering wheels. The company’s employees pay no deductibles, contributions or co-insurance on their health care insurance, or their life insurance and disability benefits. Nick said his company chose to provide free health care after reading a study showing where employees ranked health care as more important than salary.
