Big Local Expansion for InSinkErator

Racine-based InSinkErator plans to expand in Racine County.

About 170 engineers and professional staff will break away from the company’s main facility on 21st Street and move into a new $24 million building to go up in Mt. Pleasant east of I-94 and south of Highway 20.

The announcement was made in a news release issued Monday.

The release says the move will free up space that’ll allow the company to add production.

InSinkErator is asking for $5 million in government incentives, including a four-and-a-half million dollar loan from the county. Racine County Supervisors will get their first look at the details Wednesday night.

InSinkErator employs a-thousand people in southeast Wisconsin, mostly in the Racine area.
