SAUKVILLE, Wis. (WFRV) – A Wisconsin company that provides energy solutions, including power generation and energy storage, has announced it will be closing its facility and laying off 66 employees.
According to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) letter submitted to the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD), Discover Energy, LLC, doing business under the name Rehlko (formerly known as Kohler Energy), is permanently closing its Saukville facility located at 300 N.

Company officials said the facility is targeted to close by December 31, 2025, with layoffs occurring in three waves. Wave one will occur on or within 14 days of August 8, wave two on or within 14 days of September 5, and wave three on or within 14 days of December 31.
The WARN letter states that the 66 employees being laid off are not represented by a union, and bumping rights do not apply. Bumping rights would allow senior employees to take over positions currently held by less senior employees, but this will not be the case in this instance.
