Area Development
Bradley Corp., a maker of plumbing fixtures and restroom accessories, is planning a new 177,000-square-foot plant in the Milwaukee area, Manufacturing Weekly reports. The company is considering three area facilities.

"We're looking for more flexibility and a better layout, and the ability to do more flexible, cellular manufacturing," said Jon Dommisse, Bradley director of marketing and product development.

Bradley currently leases a 150,000-square-foot facility in Milwaukee. The new building will replace this site. The company currently has 100 employees in Milwaukee and will retail all of its workers at the new site.

The company is planning to break ground on the facility in the first quarter of 2011.
