SL Montevideo Technology was established in Kenosha 17 years ago from an aerospace division out of Rockford, Illinois.
The company provides custom electric motor and generator manufacturing services, and aerospace applications across many different industries.
“Our Kenosha facility has doubled revenue in the past few years,” said Michael Gardner, VP/GM of industrial products. “By adopting lean principles, we have been able to maintain our existing 50,000-square-foot facility and have been able to limit the number of increased operating hours.”
The Kenosha facility currently employs 65 people, and Gardner credits the employees for the company’s growth.
“During the last few years, we have not had any trouble hiring skilled employees from Kenosha, Racine, Milwaukee and Beloit. Kenosha seems to be in a labor sweet spot,” he said.
SL Montevideo is going on more than four years with 100 percent on-time delivery metrics and has adopted lean principles to achieve world-class operations, Gardner said.
The company is in the process of establishing a sales force and marketing team that will focus on new customers, new products and new applications that will support future growth in the Kenosha community.
