Kaysun Corporation announced plans on Tuesday to expand their current manufacturing facility as well as their office space. As part of the expansion, Kaysun plans to add an additional 75 positions over the next several years.
The company is set to begin construction in July on a 55,000 square-foot expansion of their manufacturing facility and an additional 10,000 square feet added for office space. A.C.E. Building Service has been hired to complete the work.
A press release issued on Tuesday from Manitowoc Mayor Justin Nickels noted that Kaysun collaborated with the city on the project. Tax Increment Financing helped ensure that the expansion and jobs remain local in Manitowoc.
Nickels noted in the release that the city is supportive of the project.
“We were very excited to support this continued growth in our industrial park and work with Kaysun as they continue to grow and invest in Manitowoc. the city’s goal is to be as business-friendly as we can and I think we can see the results of that as the industrial park is now full and homegrown businesses like Kaysun want to continue to expand in Manitowoc.”
Ben Harrison, President and CEO of Kaysun also added that he is grateful to be a part of the expansion, calling it an “exciting milestone” for the company.
Kaysun Corporation has been a Manitowoc company since 1946 and currently has a workforce of around 240 employees in the city.
