Wisconsin Aluminum Wins State Award Wisconsin Aluminum Foundry
Co. Inc., Manitowoc, Wis., recently was given a special award for “In- dustry Perseverance,” one of eight 2009 Wisconsin Manufacturer of the Year Awards. The eight manufacturing com-
panies were honored Feb. 25 at an awards dinner and program at the Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee. Accord- ing to the awards committee, the honors recognize Wisconsin com- panies that demonstrate a commit- ment to business excellence that has a positive impact on the company and the state. Companies were evaluated in
areas such as financial growth or consistency, technological advanc-
es, product development, environ- mental solutions and sustainability, operational excellence/continu- ous improvement, commitment to employees and effective research and development. An independent panel of judges, with representa- tives from business, education, government and the media, selected the winners. The four grand awards went to
Oshkosh Corp.-Defense Division, Oshkosh, American Orthodontics Corp., Sheboygan, Sentry Equip- ment Corp., Oconomowoc, Frito- Lay Inc., Beloit, and Northwoods Paper Converting, Beaver Dam. The other special awards were won by Mayville Engineering Co. Inc.,
Mayville, and Plastic Components Inc., Germantown. The statewide recognition pro-
gram is co-sponsored by Baker Tilly, an accounting and advi- sory firm, law firm Michael Best & Friedrich LLP, and Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce, a state business association. “The success of each of these
companies proves that manufactur- ing is alive and well in Wiscon- sin,” said Timothy Christen, chief executive officer of Baker Tilly. “These companies demonstrate that Wisconsin manufacturers have the forward momentum to make things in Wisconsin and create jobs for years to come.”
