Hundreds of jobs returning to Fox Valley

Posted

After slashing nearly 600 jobs back in the fall, Appleton Coated is now bringing back nearly half of those workers.

Appleton Coated has decided to add a third machine at their facility.

The company shut down and went into receivership last fall, but just recently, Appleton Coated was purchased by a new owner.

Outagamie County Executive Tom Nelson said this recent decision to bring in a third machine and bring back hundreds of jobs, is a testament to the workers dedication to working for Appleton Coated.

"This is a huge success, it's a great story. We're at this point because the workers persevered and their families took a chance on Appleton Coated. What's exciting about this announcement is it's finally beginning to pay off."

The company says they plan to bring back around 300 employees.
