August 14, 2015, Town of Addison, Wisconsin

This morning I attended Allcast’s expansion ceremony and celebration in Allenton. I enjoyed learning more about this great local company, and am thankful for their continuing success and ability to expand here in the 59th Assembly District. Allcast plans to add 88 new jobs over the next few years.

In speaking with Allcast’s plant manager, John, I learned that Allcast has recently formed a strong relationship with an Israeli corporation. I was encouraged to hear that products from Wisconsin are being sent overseas, and that those products are being recognized for their quality and value. Not only are Allcast’s products made here at home, all of the aluminum used to manufacture the parts comes from right here in the Midwest.

It is important for our youth to understand that there are excellent, middle-class jobs right here at home in the 59th District. We need to continue to encourage partnerships between high schools and technical colleges to promote local manufacturing jobs and a prosperous workforce.
