Conservatively Speaking

State Senator Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin) represents parts of four counties: Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, and Walworth. Her Senate District 28 includes New Berlin, Franklin, Greendale, Hales Corners, Muskego, Waterford, Big Bend, the town of Vernon and parts of Greenfield, East Troy, and Mukwonago. Senator Lazich has been in the Legislature for more than a decade. She considers herself a tireless crusader for lower taxes, reduced spending and smaller government.

Congratulations Universal Electronics!

Good news from Senate District 28, Business


During these difficult economic times filled with sad news of people losing jobs, it is heartwarming to learn about successful, expanding companies. One of them is Universal Electronics, a supplier of electronics manufacturing services that designs and assembles devices for medical technology, the military, aerospace, communications, and agriculture. Universal most recently has been producing energy-saving street lights.

Universal Electronics is thriving in a dismal economy, hiring 65 people since the beginning of this year. The company has 225 employees at their Whitewater facility and 30 to 35 employees at their prototype shop that moved from Mukwonago to East Troy into a portion of the facility that once housed Buell Motorcycles, a former Harley Davidson facility.

Friday, October 8, 2010, I was pleased to attend an Open House at Universal’s new East Troy prototype shop along with employees, customers, and suppliers. I was impressed by this truly amazing facility and Universal’s dedicated workforce.

The new East Troy facility, called UEI II has 27,500 square feet of electronics manufacturing space. Universal Electronics’ two Wisconsin plants have a combined capacity of 120,000 square feet allowing the company to provide rapid prototyping, strong program management, and quick integration for volume manufacturing that can serve industrial, telecom, lighting, and laboratory industries. Founded during 1980, Universal Electronics has offered electronic contract manufacturing and services for three decades.

I congratulate Universal Electronics for their expansion and continuing success, and I am thrilled they are providing jobs and located in Senate District 28.
