The Fox Cities Chamber and Virchow, Krause & Company, LLP sponsor the Manufacturer of the Year Award, presented at the Chamber's Annual Meeting in October.

 

Manufacturing has long been the backbone of the Fox Cities economy, and as the national economy regains momentum, manufacturing industries are re-engineering their operations to establish themselves in the global marketplace.  By honoring manufacturing firms, the Chamber draws attention to successful strategies and lean manufacturing practices.

Manufacturing awards are presented to Small, Medium and Large firms, and special awards may be given at the discretion of the judges to recognize unique manufacturing practices or accomplishments.  Recipients of the local awards are encouraged to apply for state level competition, also sponsored by Virchow, Krause.

Firms may nominate their clients or vendors, or apply on their own.  Questions about the Manufacturer of the Year Awards may be directed to Benjamin Lasiewicz, Research Manager, at the Chamber by calling 920-734-7101, or e-mail blasiewicz@foxcitieschamber.com
