Exacto to move from Richmond, Ill. to Walworth County
Exacto Inc. recently purchased the 49,700-square-foot industrial building at 200 Old Factory Road in Sharon (located in Walworth County). from Lyman Lumber Company for $1.55 million.

Exacto will move its operations, and about 25 employees, to the facility from Richmond, Ill., which is located just south of Walworth County and about 20 miles southeast of Sharon. Exacto manufactures chemical additives. Exacto received a $850,000 SBA-backed loan from the Wisconsin Business Development Finance Corp. for the relocation. Dave Hazenfield of The Dickman Company represnted Lyman Lumber and Mark Stricker represented Exacto in brokering the property sale.
