TAHER, INC.

Taher,Inc is located at 4290 North Teutonia Avenue in Milwaukee, WI.  Hunzinger Construction Company served as the general contractor for the company’s new production kitchen and food distribution center.  This new facility is an expansion for Taher which allows them to enlarge its operation from about 18 workers to 85 over the next two years.

Bruce Taher, owner of the Minnesota-based company, decided to relocate his small kitchen in Brown Deer to Milwaukee.  He purchased the former Ferko Meat Co., a 10,800-square-foot facility that had sat empty for about two years.  Hunzinger’s Commercial Interiors division transformed the former meat packaging facility into a state-of-the-art commercial production kitchen in only 9 weeks.  The project included design/build mechanical systems consisting of two new roof top units, one makeup air unit, new electrical service and all new plumbing components, FRP wall paneling and vinyl faced ceiling tiles were installed throughout for ease of cleaning.  Custom kitchen equipment and a walk-in cooler and freezer were also part of the facility designed to produce fresh food for charter schools, senior nutrition programs, grocery stores and gas stations.
