Harley-Davidson and Milwaukee are synonymous – but the next couple of months could see the manufacturer leave it’s 107 year home.
According to local press, Harley warned employees its Wisconsin manufacturing operations will be moved unless it can cut significant expenses. Harley chief executive Keith Wandell has been quoted as saying the company will make its decision on whether to move in the next two months. Other states are being considered, but Wandell declined to say which ones.
The move would see the last of the major manufacturing concerns leave the area, with such brewing giants as Miller and Schlitz having left the area.
Harley corporate headquarters would remain in Milwaukee.
