Nine Wisconsin companies were named as winners in the 35th Annual Wisconsin Manufacturer of the Year (MOTY) Awards for outstanding achievements in manufacturing, according to Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (WMC). The winners were announced Thursday, Feb. 22.
The MOTY Awards program recognizes Wisconsin companies that are dedicated to quality careers, good business practices, financial growth, innovative processes, and reinvestment into local communities. The industry itself employs nearly a half million Wisconsinites and contributes roughly $70 billion annually to the economy.
Each year, the MOTY Awards program recognizes companies of all sizes for all they do to grow Wisconsin’s economy. Companies are 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 are selected by an independent panel of judges.
The MOTY Awards are sponsored by the advisory firm of Baker Tilly, the law firm of Michael Best & Friedrich LLP, and WMC — the combined state chamber and manufacturers’ association.
