Abbotsford Factory Keeps Sewing

A local man finds a way to get financing and buy the factory he worked in and saved 61 jobs. Story by Glen Moberg, Ashland Current.

A rural central Wisconsin man is being hailed as a hero for keeping the factory he worked at from shutting down, and putting 61 people out of work.

Dan Hannula walks the floor of the Abbotsford factory that's been his second home since 1976, "All of our product comes in on the north end of the building here and we have basically three production lines that run the length of the plant," he says.

Women sit behind row after row of humming sewing machines, and cut fabric as it rolls out of industrial quilters. They're making draperies, bed spreads, and pillow cases for hospitals and the biggest hotel chains in the world, like Days Inn, Super 8, Howard Johnson, Ramada, Wingates, and more.

Hannula says they do a lot of business -- 200 properties a month..

Go ahead, you can call it a comeback. Sheila Nyberg sure is.

I interviewed the executive director of Clark County Economic Development Corporation twice in the past two weeks about business development in her county. She gushed about how well Clark County has rebounded from the Great Recession, a positive trend she said she began seeing clearly in her area last July.

She used words and phrases like "comeback," "booming," "furious pace" and "growth" in her conversations with me and in the CCEDC annual report released this month.
