The company, which designs and manufactures single-purpose computers and digital displays for origi- nal equipment manufactur- ers, broke ground on its new facility Oct. 8. The 100,000- square-foot facility will be located at N7-W23700 Blue- mound Road, near the Waukesha Airport in the City of Pewaukee. Fotsch's January com- ments came during a visit from Gov. Scott Walker. The governor also visited in May 2012 when the company had 30 employees and a 14,000- square-foot facility. In Jan- uary the company had 65 employees and planned to be over 100 by 2015. A release from the compa- ny says sales have grown 1,322 percent in the last three years. The new facility was designed for cell-based man- ufacturing. Fotsch said in January the company would be investing $4.3 million in the facility and the state offered EmbedTek $300,000 in tax incentives for job growth. The company had an employee move the first shovel of dirt for the build- ing. "Our growth is a direct result of their hard work and passion for excellence," Fotsch said in a statement. "This groundbreaking is a celebration for all of us." www.embedtek.net Candy buyback planned in Pewaukee PEWAUKEE — For the sev- enth year, Pewaukee Dental plans take candy from chil- dren, all for a good cause.
