RELIABLE KNITTING IS CLOSING THEIR MILWAUKEE PLANT

Reliable Knitting Works Inc. will close its factory in Milwaukee's 3rd Ward by September. The planned shutdown of the plant at 233 E. Chicago Street will result in the loss of about 25 permanent jobs.

Founded in 1911, Reliable Knitting produces knit headwear, scarves, footwear and golf club covers. The company announced in December that it planned to sell its 135,000-square-foot building, one of the last remaining factories in operation in the 3rd Ward.
