McNeilus Steel, Inc. recently held a ground
breaking ceremony at their new 112,000 square
foot distribution center at 123 E. Larson Drive in
Fond du Lac’s Southwest Industrial Park.

The Minnesota-based company is constructing the
facility to expand into the eastern Wisconsin market. The project is
expected to create 25-30 jobs at the Fond du Lac facility, and up to
50 jobs over the next three years.

Construction is expected to be completed in October of 2009.

McNeilus Steel, Inc., founded in 1948, supplies steel products such as
stainless steel, structural steel, carbon steel, steel fabrication,
steel construction, steel plates and alloy steel.

Today, the company is one of the largest steel suppliers in the
Midwest, and a fleet of over 50 trucks delivers over one million
pounds of steel daily.

Keller, Inc., designed and will build the facility. Fond du Lac County
Economic Development Corporation (FCEDC) and the City of Fond du Lac
partnered on providing business attraction services to the company and
will continue to work
with McNeilus Steel as they move forward on opening the distribution
center.
