Headquartered in Lyon, France, Jacquet is a service-oriented stainless steel and nickel alloy processing company with 42 facilities worldwide in 21 different countries. With four of its facilities located in the U.S., Jacquet’s Midwest operations have called Racine, Wisconsin, home since 2007.
Jacquet, currently located in a 40,000-square-foot leased facility on 1908 DeKoven Avenue, purchased 10 acres of the Southside Industrial Park for its new headquarters. Planned development of the new Jacquet site will include the construction of two industrial buildings totaling an estimated 109,000 square feet, resulting in a nearly $12 million investment. Jacquet Midwest currently employs 19 and estimates it will add 12 new jobs upon completion of the project
“Racine has always been a great place to do business – especially for manufacturers,” said City of Racine Mayor, Cory Mason. “In 2007, Jacquet chose Racine and more than a decade later, they’re affirming that choice by once again investing in this community.”
