Wisconsin firm plans aluminum plant in Illinois
Gov. Pat Quinn says the American Aluminum Extrusion Co., an aluminum extruder and fabricator based in Beloit, Wis., is investing $7.5 million to open a plant in the Winnebago County town of Roscoe.
Quinn says the plant is expected to employ 130 people.
The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity is administering the state's $748,000 business investment package in the facility.
Quinn said Thursday the company's decision relied heavily upon the recent extension of the Illinois Jobs Recovery Law.
American Aluminum manufactures custom aluminum extrusions for customers in the transportation, consumer durable and building and construction markets that are located within a 500 mile radius of the company's headquarters in Beloit.
