Governor Tony Evers was in the area yesterday as he helped MilliporeSigma break ground on a new facility at 5485 County Road V in Sheboygan Falls.
MilliporeSigma works in the medical field, as they develop and manufacture medical supplies including vaccines.
This facility in particular will manufacture the company’s Hi-Flow Plus lateral flow membrane which is used in rapid diagnostic testing kits.
The $136.7 million facility will be built over a three-year period and is funded in part by money received from the U.S. Department of Defense.
