“We’ll keep producing the best products possible using a more adaptable, cost-efficient, and agile manufacturing network.”
The business announced that it will invest in its facilities in Franklin, Wisconsin; Hanover, Pennsylvania; and Maxton, North Carolina.
210 new roles will be created as a result of the adjustments.
