Eight companies were named Wisconsin Manufacturers of the Year (MOTY) at the 36th annual MOTY Awards program. The winners were announced Thursday, Feb. 20. The state’s largest industry, manufacturing employs 18.4% of Wisconsin’s workforce, the largest ratio in the country.
Companies were evaluated on many key benchmarks, including financial growth, technological advances, product development, environmental solutions and sustainability, operational excellence and continuous improvement, commitment to employees, and effective research and development. Award winners were selected by an independent panel of judges.
The manufacturing industry produces nearly $72 billion in economic output each year in Wisconsin. The state is home to nearly 9,000 manufacturers.
