Cooper Power is the latest manufacturer to make a big investment in South Milwaukee.
This one, announced today, is for $5.5 million in new machines and more, according to a news release in Energy Central, a trade publication. From it:
The Cooper Power Systems South Milwaukee location, where specific components for switchgear and transformers are manufactured, has seen a significant increase in sales prompting the immediate approval of a $5.5 million capital investment to expand its machining and process capability.
This is great news for our city, which has also seen major expansions from Bucyrus (Caterpillar), Appleton Electric and Metalcut in recent years.
I’ll keep you posted when I learn more.
