DR99 Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 The interesting bit in the article mentions power tool assembly. I wonder what power tools they are still making in the usa. http://www.clarionledger.com/viewart/20130722/BIZ/130722004/Greenwood-electric-tool-plant-expanding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 I'm not sure exactly what Milwaukee is still making here. I know most of the corded sawzalls, some of the routers, and various other electric tools are still made here. Wonder if this expansion is for new production, or expanded capabilities of the current production? Milwaukee has picked up quite a bit of market share the last couple of years.

DR99 Posted August 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 If its easy to do conductor you can remove the 400 out of the title. I thought they were adding 400 new jobs but that's just the number employed at the plant. From the article it sounded like more production of saw blades and such going from the production lines to six, and consolidating tool assembly at another.
