Harley begins looking out of state
Harley-Davidson Inc. already has begun examining out-of-state locations as it moves deeper into the process of deciding whether to keep manufacturing in Wisconsin.
Harley-Davidson spokesman Bob Klein said the Milwaukee-based motorcycle manufacturer would prefer to remain in Wisconsin but, nonetheless, has begun an “in-depth analysis” of alternate sites in the event the company isn’t able to achieve the necessary solutions needed to improve the efficiency and cost-competitiveness of its Wisconsin operations.

| “We are early in the process, but we are starting to do a deeper dive,” Klein said. Harley-Davidson management would like to have a decision by fall on whether it will be necessary to move manufacturing out of Wisconsin. At stake are nearly 1,700 jobs, including more than 1,300 in the Milwaukee area. Harley-Davidson began an intensive examination earlier this year of its operations in Menomonee Falls and Tomahawk. The $4 billion-plus company already is consolidating its powertrain production operations at the Menomonee Falls factory. The move will lead to the closure of the company’s factory in Wauwatosa. |
