Milwaukee's Industrial Asbestos Legacy
Milwaukee was once called 'The Machine Shop of the World' for its concentration of heavy manufacturing. Allis-Chalmers Corporation — which manufactured turbines, electrical generators, and agricultural equipment on the west side of Milwaukee — used asbestos insulation throughout its turbine manufacturing operations. A.O. Smith manufactured automobile frames and steel pipe in Milwaukee plants with asbestos pipe insulation and boiler lagging. Harnischfeger (P&H Mining Equipment) and Bucyrus-Erie manufactured mining machinery using asbestos gaskets and heat-resistant materials. Workers at these facilities — particularly maintenance mechanics, boilermakers, and pipefitters — had long-term occupational asbestos exposure from the 1940s through the 1980s.
