WI: Electrical Component Maker Excellerate Expands to Little Chute, Wis., Adding 200+ Jobs

Excellerate is expanding its electrical component manufacturing and assemblies company to Little Chute, Wis., and adding more than 200 jobs. The company, a division of Faith Technologies Inc., recently broke ground on a new 385,000-square-foot building, which will be used to manufacture microgrids, modular builds, e-houses and specialty engineering.

FTI, headquartered in Menasha, Wis., is a national leader in engineering, construction, manufacturing and clean energy, reports the Appleton Post-Crescent.

"Our heritage started in the Valley and we want to continue that on," FTI CEO Mike Jansens said. "The reason why I'm excited about Little Chute is basically because of the people. I know what we can drive to our customers, nationally, through the great work ethics and care factors that our employees have, and the people of the Fox Valley."

Excellerate also has locations in Appleton, Neenah and Milwaukee. It's largest facility is in Olathe, KS.
