We currently employ more than 2,000 people and have four manufacturing
plants in Wisconsin, Mississippi and Arkansas, making Milwaukee the
only power tool manufacturer with the majority of its tool production
in the U.S. Our team will now join forces with TTI North America,
which employs 1,800 people in Ohio and South Carolina.

Interestingly enough, Dan didn't say if they'll continue with mostly
domestic tool production.

What they are really saying in the email is "China"!!! Translation on
more competitive and innovation ("CEO Talk") Eliminate competition,
manufacturing moved to China or Taiwan whichever gives them better
deal, Innovative design to decrease material cost, increase profits
and life expectancy of product.
