Rice Lake Weighing Systems announces the purchase of a 29,700 square foot manufacturing facility in Fernley, Nevada, where the company plans to expand truck-scale manufacturing and improve service to its western heavy-capacity customers. This is optimistic news, not only for the state of Nevada, but also for the Wisconsin-based scale manufacturer, who hasn’t seen one layoff in its entire 65 year history. Rice Lake firmly believes that their experienced workforce and an overall commitment to keeping Americans at Work® are key factors in their success. This expansion will create at least 25 new jobs upon opening in November, primarily for welders, painters and other skilled positions, with the potential for additional growth and hiring in the future.
