It is with sadness that we share the following news from one of our long-time industrial neighbors. The HADC is working closely with Kendall Hartcraft leadership to find employment for displaced staff and work through many of the other transitional details.

Kendall Hartcraft to close Hartford, Wisconsin Plant
Huntsville Alabama-based Kendall Hartcraft plans to close its Hartford Wisconsin location at 1480 Independence Avenue on December 17, 2010. Kendall Hartcraft has enjoyed the privilege of working in Wisconsin for the last 10 years after acquiring the then 49-year-old Hartcraft Frame Company from the Jaroch and Thoma Families. It is with regret that we close our doors and release our 11 employees who have worked within the Hartcraft and Kendall Hartcraft family for more than 30 combined years. Deep appreciation is expressed to the following for their loyal service and timeless commitment: Donna Kablitz (35 years), Marion Stapleton (33 years), Brenda Becker (30 years), Judy Collegnon (24 years), Dawn Hasby (21 years), Beverly Johnston (19 years), Sharry Lendardt (15 years), Sue Kraske (24 years), Sherry Krueger (21 years), Michael Kaker (6 years), and Pat Merath (6 years). Kendall Hartcraft will remain open via its Huntsville, Alabama location and will begin to streamline production through that facility beginning January 2011. Please contact Wes Kendall at 800-421-7435 for any questions or concerns regarding the Hartford facility.
