ANOKA, Minn. (PRWEB) January 03, 2022 - Miller Manufacturing Company, a leading manufacturer and distributor of farm, ranch and pet products is expanding its manufacturing base in Minnesota with the integration of the former Lakeland Tool and Engineering Inc. based in Anoka, MN. Lakeland was previously acquired by Millers parent company, Frandsen Corporation, in April of 2019.

The Anoka facility will expand the manufacturing capabilities of Miller Manufacturing by adding injection molding capabilities to the organization and a 187,000 square feet manufacturing facility. This will also add an additional 181 employees to the Miller organization, bringing the total employee base in Minnesota to over 450. During the seasonal peak, that number will grow to more than 550 Minnesotans.

The last two years have been incredible for the Miller team. We have seen unprecedented growth and this expansion will set us up for further growth in 2022 and beyond. We are reshoring products currently being made in China and other global locations and many of these products are in our new facility in Anoka. Buying American is a big part of our strategy, and this strongly reinforces our commitment in doing so said Miller CEO, Dan Ferrise.

Miller Manufacturing provides an excellent opportunity for anyone in the Glencoe and Anoka areas interested in joining a stable, local, growing organization with flexible hours and the opportunity to advance. This expansion allows us to recruit employees from a new labor pool in Anoka and the northern Twin Cities suburbs. We have significant hiring going on at both the Anoka and Glencoe facilities. We cant wait to bring on additional help to our already strong organization said Ferrise.
