Excerpts from wbay.com:

More than 200 new jobs are expected to be created due to the expansion of Pierce Manufacturing Inc. in Appleton and Neenah. The company announced the expansion early Tuesday afternoon, adding they have begun recruitment efforts for the jobs.

According to company officials, the need to increase space to produce fire trucks comes due to product demand. Officials say a 90,000 square foot expansion will be done at the main facility located in Appleton. In addition, another 60,000 square feet of production space will be added to the Neenah facility. Work on the foundation for the expansion is already underway. The new production and testing facility areas are expected to be operational by fall of 2022.

The company will have openings for welders, painters, electricians, assemblers, and others. According to a release sent out Tuesday announcing the expansion, new team members will be in an initial training program before transitioning to the hired role. In addition, the company says each team member may access $10,000 per year for continuing education for an associate, bachelors or master’s degree.

Right now the company has 2600 workers, and the 200 additional jobs will be on of some already existing vacancies.
