Weldall to expand in Waukesha

Weldall Mfg. Inc. broke ground this week on a 76,000-square-foot expansion of its plant at 2001 S. Prairie Ave. in Waukesha.
The expansion is supported by continued growth in existing business relationships and the addition of several new partnerships. The additional square footage is needed for anticipated increased workloads and future production requirements.
Started in 1974, Weldall has followed a path of continuous growth. The expansion will enable Weldall to work on larger and more complex fabrication, welding, and machining requirements. It includes additional lifting capabilities highlighted by two, 100-ton overhead cranes.
New production equipment is expected to include a large computer numerically controlled (CNC) robotic welder and additional support equipment as required.
With an increased business base, the company expects to hire at least 75 more employees.
The project is expected to be completed by April of 2011. Consolidated Construction Co., Inc. of Appleton, is the design-build contractor for the project.
