Local Companies Featured on Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce

Wisconsin companies sold over $209 billion in manufactured goods last year, accounting for just under 20 percent of the state’s GDP.

But too few Wisconsinites know about the diversity of this production powerhouse, the state’s largest business association argues. A new poster, developed by the group, seeks to change that. Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (WMC), the combined state chamber of commerce and manufacturers association, released a Made in Wisconsin poster featuring 51 items manufactured or produced in Wisconsin.

WMC, in partnership with BMO, unveiled the poster to promote and celebrate the state’s largest industry ahead of Manufacturing Month in October. Nearly 480,000 Wisconsinites, or one in six, work directly in manufacturing. Included on the poster are household names like Harley-Davidson, John Deere, Stoughton Trailers, Ashley Furniture, Generac, Kimberly-Clark, Jack Link’s, Sargento, and many more globally distributed products.

A couple of local companies' products are featured on the poster including butter from Grassland Dairy Products in Greenwood and a Harvesting Dump Cart from Oxbo Forage in Marshfield.

While highlighting just a tiny fraction of what’s produced in Wisconsin, the poster nonetheless shows off the Badger State’s manufacturing prowess. The poster will be shared with elected officials, local chambers, education partners, and more.
