Site and Operational Plans Approved for Hanna Cylinders
During a September 9 meeting of the Pleasant Prairie Plan Commission, Site and Operational Plans were approved for Hanna Cylinders to occupy a 105,637 square foot building located at 8901 102nd Street in LakeView Corporate Park. Hanna Cylinders will relocate from Libertyville, Illinois to the vacant building at the northwest corner of County Highway H and State Highway 165. Hanna will move its office, manufacturing and warehousing to Pleasant Prairie.
Hanna manufactures hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders. Hanna Cylinders will bring 105 full- and part-time employees to its new location. Hanna plans to add 20 to 30 additional employees after relocating and plans to add up to 70 new positions over the next five years.
Approximately 10 truck trips are expected to and from the location daily. Start-up at the facility is expected to begin during the fall of 2013. The State of Wisconsin, the Kenosha Area Business Alliance, Kenosha County and the Village of Pleasant Prairie worked to facilitate the company's move to its new location.
