Hunt Electric Builds New Manufacturing Facility

Expanding Prefabrication & Manufacturing Capabilities

HUDSON, WI – November 2022 – Hunt Electric has been a leader in prefabrication for decades and now we are expanding (again) our footprint to be able to expand our capabilities.

In 2020, we moved our prefabrication team over to a facility in Hudson, Wisconsin and formed a dba called Baer Manufacturing.  That facility, known as “Little Baer,” currently has 150,000 square feet of prefabrication space.  Over the last 2 years in Hudson alone, we’ve clocked over 150,000 hours producing industry-leading work that saves our customers time and money, and supports safer work practices and more efficiencies on our job-sites.

Fast forward to today.  We are just a couple of months away from taking occupancy of a new manufacturing facility right next door. We acquired 17 acres to the north of the current facility and are partnering with Kraus-Anderson Construction to build a 250,000 square foot facility.

“Big Baer”

The new facility, called “Big Baer,” will include 234,000 square feet of manufacturing space, 13,000 square feet of office/storage space, and a second level with 13,000 square feet of future office/storage space.

Our prefabrication capabilities include modular e-houses/skids, temporary power, underground, overhead, branch, and welding/fabricating.
