Joy Global closes Milwaukee facility

Joy Global, a manufacturer of mining equipment located in Milwaukee, has permanently closed its welding and heavy fabrication operations there. The facility was idled in November 2015. The closure eliminates 130 jobs.

The remainder of the company’s operations in Milwaukee are not affected by the closure; the surface mining headquarters, corporate headquarters, and distribution center remain open. Work previously done at the closed facility will be covered by other company plants.
