A press release from Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce in Madison recently announced the finalists for the 35th Annual Manufacturer of the Year (MOTY) Awards.
Thirty-six Wisconsin manufacturers were selected as finalists in four categories based on size (small, medium, large, and mega) of the business.
Locally, Weinbrenner Shoe Company Inc. of Merrill is one of nine companies nominated in the Large Business (250-499 employees) category.
Manufacturing is the state’s top industry, employing nearly half a million Wisconsinites and producing over $70 billion in economic output each year. The finalists represent the diversity and power of Wisconsin’s manufacturing industry and highlight the high-wage, family-supporting careers within the sector.
The MOTY program recognizes the state’s top manufacturers of all sectors and sizes for their commitment to quality careers, good business practices, financial growth, innovative processes, and reinvestment into local communities.
Grand Award winners will be selected in each of the four categories and revealed at an awards ceremony on Feb. 22, 2024, at the Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee. Registration for the award ceremony is now open. For more information, go to: wimoty.com.
The annual MOTY awards program is sponsored by Baker Tilly, Michael Best & Friedrich LLP and Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce.
