Summary
ASI Employment Manufacturing LLC will start with 30 to 40 people on payroll, assembling daily teams of about 10 for part-time, short-term production work in Manitowoc.
Ascend Services said the new social enterprise expands its employment mission by offering hands-on training, soft-skill development and work experience for people with disabilities and others building toward future jobs.
The company will take over production and subcontracting work previously handled under Ascend’s nonprofit production program, shifting that activity into what leaders called a more sustainable workforce-development model.
822 South 13th Street, Ascend’s former Plant 2 site, will house the operation, with Dale Cayemberg as chief operations officer and applications already arriving after the launch announcement.
The program is designed as a short-term pathway rather than a permanent placement, with participants expected to complete real contract work and use that record to prove themselves to other employers.
