Nearly two dozen Wisconsin manufacturers have been selected as finalists for the 36th Annual Manufacturer of the Year Awards.
The MOTY program recognizes the state’s top manufacturers of all sectors and sizes for innovations, philanthropy, technological advances, commitment to customer satisfaction and the quality jobs they create.
The program highlights manufacturing as the state’s top industry, employing 1 in 6 Wisconsin workers and producing nearly $72 billion in economic output each year. The finalists represent the diversity and power of Wisconsin’s manufacturing industry and its wide-reaching impact.
A total of four Grand Award winners will be selected – one for each size category (Small, Medium, Large, Mega). The judges may also decide to honor a company with a Special Award for excelling in an outstanding area.
