NEENAH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – A local employer is expanding its operations in Two Rivers and Neenah, resulting in 111 new jobs over the next three years.
Door and countertop manufacturer Eggers Division LLC announced the $16 million project Monday.
Eggers Division LLC’s parent company, VT Industries Inc., is moving some of its business from Texas to Wisconsin, prompting the expansion in Neenah and growth in Two Rivers.
“The decision by Eggers to invest here in Wisconsin shows the company’s sustained commitment to our state and its workforce,” said Missy Hughes, secretary and CEO of WEDC. “I congratulate Eggers on its expansion and look forward to its continued success in Two Rivers and Neenah.”
In Neenah, the company is adding 45,000 square feet to house a new production line, new receiving area and warehouse space. The company is also renovating an older portion of the facility as employee spaces including lunchroom, locker room, restrooms, conference rooms, first aid room and offices for operations. An older part of the facility will be demolished to enhance the entrance for trucks heading to the receiving docks.
In Two Rivers, the company expects to increase sales out of their facility after moving some door production from Texas. The company also has plans for a new layout of the facility and increased workforce.
In addition to the 111 jobs expected to be created by the company, an economic modeling study estimates the project could indirectly generate 88 additional jobs in the area.
WEDC is supporting the project by authorizing up to $400,000 in state income tax credits over the next three years. The actual amount of tax credits Eggers Division LLC will receive is contingent upon the number of jobs created.
