Late in December, Luxx Light Technology, a custom-lighting company based in Germany, opened a new location in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The new location, which opened as Luxx Light Technology (USA) Inc., serves as a customer service hub for now. A majority of manufacturing for Luxx takes place in China and Germany; the plant in China takes care of large orders and has around 60 employees. Andreas Weyer, the managing director at Luxx, hopes to expand the Milwaukee facility in order to match the production capabilities of the plant in China. Luxx benefits from this investment because they are close to an airport and customers, which will make deliveries and communication easier. It is exciting to learn that Luxx hopes to expand the Milwaukee location; there will hopefully be many job opportunities available at Luxx to people in Wisconsin. In addition, Luxx will most likely spend money on various goods and services in Wisconsin and neighboring states, which is great for the economy as a whole.

This is wonderful news for the Milwaukee area! Milwaukee has lost a lot of it's manufacturing sites over the years, and with that came the loss of jobs. Hopefully as Luxx expands, they can fill some of these openings.
