Vollrath Company Breaks Ground on $40 Million Manufacturing Expansion in Sheboygan

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — Commercial kitchen equipment manufacturer Vollrath Company officially broke ground Thursday on a new 110,000-square-foot facility at its Sheboygan headquarters. The project marks the first phase of a multi-year, $40 million investment designed to modernize production lines and consolidate operations.

CEO Erik Lampe called the expansion “transformational” and a clear sign of the company’s long-term commitment to the community.

“After 150 years in Sheboygan, we are making this substantial investment because we believe in the future of this community and the exceptional workforce that calls it home,” Lampe said. “Our current facility, built in 1912, has served us well, but to remain competitive and continue growing, we need to invest in modern infrastructure that allows us to streamline how we work, stay at the cutting edge of manufacturing technology, and make it even easier for customers to do business with us.”
