Perlick Corporation, a bar, beverage and refrigeration systems manufacturer, is renovating and revitalizing its office and manufacturing facility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The $11.5 million project is expected to create 35 jobs over the next three years.

This “lean transformation” of the facility will improve the company's efficiency and performance in the wake of growing customer demand, according to state officials. A new layout as well as changes to product design and quality systems will update the overall functionality of the manufacturing facility. Perlick will also be upgrading its office building with more collaboration space, hoteling, innovation labs, technology improvements and more.

“We are very thankful for the support from the state,” said Theodore Perlick Molinari, vice president of Perlick Corporation. “Perlick has been in Milwaukee for 105 years and intends to stay here. We intend that the business will grow well beyond the grant years to provide jobs for generations of Wisconsin residents.”

WEDC is supporting the project by authorizing up to $400,000 in state income tax credits over the next three years. The actual amount of tax credits Perlick Corporation will receive is contingent upon the number of jobs created and the amount of capital investment during that period.

“Perlick Corporation has demonstrated an ongoing commitment to Milwaukee and the state of Wisconsin,” said Missy Hughes, secretary and CEO of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC). “I’m impressed with the company’s efforts to create jobs and preserve the environment while manufacturing such widely used products on a large scale.”
