The State of Wisconsin doesn’t just produce the most mink in all of North America, it also produces the highest quality skins.

Business Manager Chris Vaughan says it’s part of the reason Saga Furs moved into a 60,000 square foot facility in Putnam Parkway in Milton in January.

Vaughan says about 30 employees work out of the Milton facility, grading furs for the fashion industry.

General Manager Charlie Ross says people want to know that they have a sustainable product, and they want to know where their fur is coming from.

As a result, the company has developed an RFID program unique to Wisconsin skins that allows consumers to trace their fur back to the farm that produced it.

The company recently received a $10,000 2022 International Market Access Grant from the Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection and the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation.
