SAUKVILLE, Wis. (WFRV) – A Wisconsin company that provides energy solutions, including power generation and energy storage, has announced it will be closing its facility and laying off 66 employees.
According to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) letter submitted to the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD), Discover Energy, LLC, doing business under the name Rehlko (formerly known as Kohler Energy), is permanently closing its Saukville facility located at 300 N. Dekora Woods Blvd.

The WARN letter states that the 66 employees being laid off are not represented by a union, and bumping rights do not apply. Bumping rights would allow senior employees to take over positions currently held by less senior employees, but this will not be the case in this instance.

And, I worked with my mentor Jonathon to restock everything in GI after it got flooded by a cut water pipe.' Mayo Clinic Talent Solutions Specialist Chelsey Steinbrecher added, 'It has been a proven workforce solution for us, truly. It's a grow-your-own, if you think about it, from start to finish of their program. We're building them up, we're training them, and at the end of the program, they're able to work.'
