Google search turned up one news entry on a very dodgy website. HufcorAmericas is an active website with lots of clipart photos. Local news in Janesville WI has no recent articles on Hufcor. So if there is a business back in operation, it likely isn't still in their home town with their previous labor force. I would go slow.

David, The answer can be found with 4Specs for identified company changes as far back as 2002. FYI, RTB has closed down indefinitely per Erl Thorgalson's greeting on the land line. |

The website you linked to is copyrighted 2021. No phone number to call to find out. Might be a predatory website aimed at getting people to send in information. Considering how many people got screwed over, I doubt that I would feel compelled to return. Would you? |

From the press release, Kwik-Wall's purchase didn't include any manufacturing facilities, only intellectual property. I don't know where Hufcor was made, but it doesn't look like those plants will be operated. |
