Camoclad Camouflage Systems to move to Mounds Illinois
Camoclad Camouflage Systems Inc plans a 13 000 square foot facility off Interstate 57 in Mounds Pulaski County to relocate from Maywood. The move adds 15 local jobs, brings three staff from the Chicago area, and positions the firm in an empowerment zone with a three year tax abatement. Founder Joe Warner cites proximity to customers and hunting country as key, with potential military use of camouflage tech. Dan Prigge of the Pulaski County Development Association calls the project a plum for the area. Groundbreaking is at 1 p.m. today with Rep. Brandon Phelps speaking.
