Mortara Expands

Milwaukee-based Mortara Instrument Inc. recently held a groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate the start of construction of a $5 million, 64,000-square-foot manufacturing and distribution facility at 8585 W. Bradley Road in Milwaukee, near the company’s headquarters. Mortara, a designer, developer and manufacturer of diagnostic cardiology and patient monitoring technologies, is in need of the new building because it has reached capacity at its 64,000-square-foot headquarters facility at 7865 N. 86th St. Its other building, a 50,000-square-foot facility at nearby 8220 W. Sleske Court, which is used for additional manufacturing and shipping and receiving, is also full.
