MADISON, Wis. October 14, 2025 \u2014<\/strong> Wisconsin companies sold over $209 billion in manufactured goods last year, accounting for just under 20 percent of the state\u2019s GDP. But too few Wisconsinites know about the diversity of this production powerhouse, the state\u2019s largest business association argues. A new poster, developed by the group, seeks to change that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (WMC), the combined state chamber of commerce and manufacturers association, released a Made in Wisconsin<\/em><\/strong> poster featuring 51 items manufactured or produced in Wisconsin. WMC, in partnership with BMO, unveiled the poster to promote and celebrate the state\u2019s largest industry ahead of Manufacturing Month in October. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cManufacturing is Wisconsin\u2019s economic super sector,\u201d explained Kurt R. Bauer, WMC President & CEO. \u201cWisconsin\u2019s nearly 9,000 manufacturers generate $73.7 billion in economic activity each year.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bauer said that nearly 480,000 Wisconsinites, or one in six, work directly in manufacturing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese products represent the high-wage, high-skill, high-tech careers these manufacturers provide in our communities,\u201d Bauer said. \u201cWe hope the poster will make Wisconsinites beam with pride in learning what\u2019s made by their own neighbors.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Included on the poster are household names and globally distributed products, such as ORBIS\u00ae Corporation<\/a>, a global leader in reusable packaging solutions headquartered in Oconomowoc, and Neenah-based Menasha Packaging<\/a>, a leading provider of innovative graphic packaging, retail display and supply chain solutions. Both companies are part of Menasha Corporation, a 175+ year-old, family-owned company\u202fand share a commitment to driving efficiency and innovation across the supply chain\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery month is Manufacturing Month as far as we\u2019re concerned,\u201d said\u202fNorm Kukuk, president of ORBIS Corporation.\u202f\u201cHelping world-class companies move their products safer, faster, more cost-effectively\u202fand more sustainably\u202fall starts in Wisconsin. I couldn\u2019t be more proud of how our people innovate with purpose, delivering sustainable, reusable packaging solutions that enhance supply chain performance and reduce environmental impact.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWisconsin has been home to Menasha for nearly two centuries and our legacy is closely connected to the state,\u201d said Menasha Packaging Company President Mike Riegsecker. \u201cWe\u2019re forever grateful how the people of Wisconsin have helped support our ongoing commitment to transformation and modernization.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While highlighting just a tiny fraction of what\u2019s produced in Wisconsin, the poster nonetheless shows off the Badger State\u2019s manufacturing prowess. The poster will be shared with elected officials, local chambers, education partners, and more.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re incredibly proud of the strength, diversity, and innovation of our state\u2019s manufacturing sector,\u201d said Dave Anderson, BMO WI Head of Commercial Banking. \u201cAs we head into Manufacturing Month, we\u2019re proud to partner on this year\u2019s Made in Wisconsin poster to showcase just a small sample of the incredible things made right here in Wisconsin.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
