Fifty-eight Wisconsin manufacturers have been nominated for the 2012 Wisconsin Manufacturer of the Year awards.
Celebrating its 25th year, the MOTY program acknowledges a diverse assortment of manufacturers of all sizes and industries for their significant economic improvements to the great state of Wisconsin. A total of five Grand Award winners will be chosen: four in categories based on company size, and one for being an exemplary role model to all in highlighting innovative workforce development best practices.
The accounting and advisory firm of Baker Tilly, the law firm of Michael Best & Friedrich LLP, and the business association Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce sponsor the MOTY awards program. The winners, selected by an independent panel of judges, will be announced at a black-tie banquet on February 28, 2013 at The Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee.
