Wisconsin Knitwear was established in the United States in 1979, but is actually an extension of a sweater company originally started in Buenos Aires, Argentina, by Julius Arenzon in the 1940's. The family's history and the company's as well, runs from Poland, where Arenzon was born, to Argentina to the United States. His son, Mauricio, immigrated to the United States in 1963 and settled in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Along with hard work and dedication, Mauricio and his wife Sheila, continued the family tradition and started Wisconsin Knitwear, Inc. Their son, Steven, now continues the family business.

Scott Arenzon, a seventh grader from Maple Dale School, wrote a letter to MPD while preparing for his Bar Mitzvah. As part of his mizvah (good deed) project, he decided to give away warm knitwear to local kids. His father Steven, owner of Wisconsin Knitwear, donated the hats and gloves. We talked to Scott about his project as well as Milwaukee Police. The officers who volunteered say they were honored to help Scott with his cause.   video: http://www.620wtmj.com/news/local/78570927.html By Shelley Walcott  December 4, 2009 MILWAUKEE - As the weather turns cold, 13-year-old Naomi Arenzon prepares a gift of warmth. Her family is donating two-thousand knit hats in honor of Naomi's bat mitzvah. "I would like to help people who don't have stuff for winter and who need it," said Naomi. Naomi's father Steven owns Wisconsin Knitwear on Lincoln Avenue. The hats are manufactured on site at the south side company. And after deciding on the donation for Naomi's mitzvah project, the family spent this evening, packing up the multi colored hats. And they enlisted the help of police in District 2, so the hats could be distributed in areas where people will need them most this winter. Officers arrived today, to collect the box loads. "We can hand them out as we see kids walking around or walking to school in the morning, if they don't have a hat, we're going to hand out a hat to them, so they don't freeze their ears off," said Captain Donald Gaglione. And kids won't be the only ones who benefit. "We're giving these hats to homeless shelters, abuse shelters and just people who need it," said Naomi. A well appreciated gift of charity in tough economic times.
