Menasha Corp. To Install Wind Turbines


Menasha Corp. is turning green. The company is installing five electricity generating wind turbines at its headquarters off Bergstrom Road.
Menasha Corp. is expecting all of the five turbines to be installed be for the year’s end. Each turbine will generate 20 kilowatts of electricity which will help power all of the office equipment, including computers and lighting.
Along with the company’s renewable energy project Menasha Corp. is implementing a number of energy-saving electrical improvements.
“Earlier this year, we identified sustainability as one of the critical areas in which Menasha must step forward and take a market leadership position,” said Jim Kotek, Menasha Corp.’s president and chief executive officer. “Our renewable energy project is part of the corporation’s support of alternative energy solutions and our focus of becoming a leader in sustainability.”
The turbines will be purchased from Renewegy, which is located in Oshkosh. The turbines will be installed in the greenway between Menasha Packaging’s manufacturing plant and its north office building on Bergstrom Road.
