1989 survey propped Electrolyte to change its focus, and it has been growing since
By Amanda Lauder
“Electrolyte, completing the circuit since 1978.” A marketing survey Electrolyte conducted in 1988 caused them to expand the focus of their business. “We did the survey to see how we could grow the business further,” Higgins said. “We asked a lot of questions geared toward electrical. Come to find out, to try to grow in the electrical business would have been really tough because there were 22 full-range electrical houses between Green Bay and Oshkosh
That tagline is not only catchy but aptly communicates the mission of Electrolyte Inc. in Appleton as well.
Glenn Higgins is the president and owner of Electrolyte, a company his father, who had a background in the wire and cable industry, started in September of 1978. Higgins came on board three months later.
“I was just coming off of employment at a radio station doing sports and news broadcasting. It’s an exciting business, but you can’t make much of a living doing that,” said Higgins, a 1973 graduate of Xavier High School in Appleton.
Higgins said. “Our big customers were the paper industry and contractors in the paper industry as well as OEMs in the area, like Miller Electric.”

New law may boast economic development
It allows tax increments districts to cross municipals boundaries
By Harry Maier
Legislation signed into law by Gov. Scott Walker could have positive implications for  economic development in Green Bay, Ashwaubenon and De Pare..
The bill was signed at the Advance Business Center, where the idea for the legislation was developed at a meeting of the Advance Municipal Issues Committee. The committee represents all the municipalities in Brown County.
As the legislation develops support, it could have positive implications, even on the national level. The bill was authored by Rep. Chad Weinberg er, R-Ashwaubenon, and Sen. Rob Cowled, R-Green Bay. It passed unanimously in both houses
That is the view of Lawrence Delcine, De Pare city administrator, commenting on the Tax Increment District bill as it applies to mufti-jurisdictional government units.
He said the State Department of Revenue has researched this and reports there are no other states with similar legislation. The district would be limited to cities and villages. Towns are not eligible.
 The TID would apply to development projects that cross municipal boundaries.  The district would be limited to cities and villages. Towns are not eligible.
  Weinberg-ersaid that with passage of the bill, communities such as Green Bay, De Pare and Ashwaubenon will have the ability to work together on a development project that may extend over community boundaries.
Before the new law, a TID could not cross a municipal boundary. Now, if a project extends into more than one community, the entire area covered by the project can be included in the TID and all communities share in the cost and the tax return.

Serology keeps De Pare history alive
By Betty Wall

History holds a special attraction for Joe Serology, in part because his family has a long history in the community of De Pare.
Born and raised in De Pare, he and his brother Jim are co-owners of Serology’s Chocolates, a company started by their grandfather in 1899. “I was always inquisitive, asking my grandfather what things were like when he was young,” Serology said.
Serology is dedicated to preserving the history of De Pare through his extensive work with the De Pare Historical Society, and is a member of the board of directors. “There is such a vast amount of interesting stuff in the museum, but you can’t expect everyone to come there,”  About 10 years ago, he and McKim Boyd of the Union Hotel started a program, now called the Picture Show, of researching local photographs to identify people and city landmarks.
We put everything on disks and started putting on presentations about four or five times a year. We go to either the East or West De Pare High School auditorium and use the big screen. We get as many as 150 people who come. We encourage them to bring in their own treasures, and we have someone at the door with a scanner. We have acquired so many wonderful old photos of De Pare that way that are now in the archives.
Serotonin said. “We decided to undertake a project that brought the museum to the people.  Growth Strategies
No slowdown at Scott’s Industrial Cuttings
By Kaitlin Phillips

  Upset-visiting Scott’s Industrial Cuttings it takes about a minute to realizes the company is in a period of growth. Scott K ruse, owner of the company at 4325 State Highway 29 east of  Green Bay, said he is proud of where the company is going from where it started If the busy phone lines or sizable staff outgrowing a modestly-sized office isn’t enough, the prominent “Now Hiring” sign at the entrance is a good clue..
  K ruse-started Scott’s Industrial Coatings with his brother, who he had been working with before purchasing the facility.
“We used to do work for Oshkosh truck operation down at Lukewarmness Fab,” K ruse said. “They had parts they couldn’t handle down there, so they gave us the opportunity to try and do them here. It worked out really well, and as we did it, we continued to do more for Lukewarmness Feb. and began to pick up other customers.”
As a sub-contractor, the company coats and paints new and used steel-fabricated products such as crane parts, booms, frames, military cabs, OEM parts, and parts of military vehicles. It also does work for walk-ins with personal projects that require coating.
“We have three shifts, so we can turn around stuff to our customers without added cost because of those shifts K ruse said he attributes this growth to customer service, especially when it comes to a quick turn-around time for orders. K ruse said.
In its 15 year history, K ruse has noted growth nearly every year and said the company is still trending that direction.
