Dec. 21, 2009 | A longtime financial executive with Koss Corp. was accused Monday of embezzling more than $4.5 million from the Milwaukee company and using the money to pay for shopping sprees at upscale stores.

Sujata Sachdeva, vice president of finance at Koss since 1992 and an active participant in Milwaukee's civic scene, was charged with wire fraud, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Jacobs, prosecutor in the case. She appeared in federal court late Monday and was released on an unsecured bond, Jacobs said.

Over the past two years, Sachdeva is accused of using embezzled money to pay credit card charges for pricey jewelry, high-end women's clothing and expensive household items, Jacobs said, citing the criminal complaint.

Authorities say her bills paid with Koss funds included $1.3 million in clothing from a single store in Mequon, $130,000 in jewelry and $600,000 from a bridal store in Milwaukee, Jacobs said.

FBI agents arrested Sachdeva on Monday, and Jacobs said she allowed agents to search her Mequon home. There and at her office, Jacobs said, agents found a number of clothing items, some with price tags still on them. Some of the items cost $2,000 apiece, he said. »Read Full Article

Oshkosh Corporation Surpasses 1,000 Vehicles a Month; Again Delivers ... - The Auto Chanel

Posted: 22 Dec 2009 05:16 AM PST



OSHKOSH, WI - December 22, 2009: Oshkosh Corporation announced today that it has reached a milestone production rate for the MRAP All Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV) of 1,000 vehicles per month on December 18. The production for December is the sixth consecutive month Oshkosh exceeded delivery requirements. Since being awarded the contract on June 30, 2009, Oshkosh has been steadily ramping up production, and will continue at this rate of 1,000 vehicles per month through May 2010 to deliver the 6,619 vehicles currently under contract.

"Our employee gave a great effort to meet the aggressive production timeline for these urgently needed vehicles. These M-ATVs will help improve the safety and mobility of our soldiers and Marines in Afghanistan"

"Our employee gave a great effort to meet the aggressive production timeline for these urgently needed vehicles. These M-ATVs will help improve the safety and mobility of our soldiers and Marines in Afghanistan," said Robert G. Bohn, Oshkosh Corporation chairman and chief executive officer. "Staying on or ahead of our delivery schedule goes beyond the M-ATV program. It is a core value with every order we receive and every high-quality vehicle we produce here at Oshkosh."

Oshkosh reached the milestone by using production capacity at existing manufacturing facilities in Oshkosh, Wis. and McConnellsburg, Pa. These and other Oshkosh Corporation manufacturing facilities have available production capacity for all current and pending military vehicle programs, including the M-ATV and the U.S. Army's Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) program, as well as any surges in production. Oshkosh uses an integrated assembly line to simultaneously produce as many as 10 vehicle models with 29 variations at its facilities.

In addition to exceeding the M-ATV's production requirements, Oshkosh has received orders to send its fully trained field service representatives (FSR) to Afghanistan and supply spare-parts kits to provide the full spectrum of life-cycle support that will help sustain the M-ATV program. Oshkosh has the experience and infrastructure in place in the theater of operation to provide the required level of support, from parts supply to remanufacturing.

Oshkosh Defense has teamed with Plasan North America to provide an advanced armor solution for the M-ATV. Plasan also developed the armor system used on more than 5,000 legacy MRAPs and thousands of Oshkosh Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement (MTVR) Armored Cabs already in theater.
