The Wisconsin Center for Manufacturing & Productivity again commissioned the Wisconsin Manufacturing Report (WMR) for 2024. The WMR is a comprehensive manufacturing report based on over 400 interviews and five focus groups conducted across the state. The report is made possible in part by WMR sponsors First Business Bank and Top Floor.
2024 Manufacturer Focus Groups
Wisconsin manufacturers participated in one of five focus groups across the state in September. These small group discussions offered manufacturers the opportunity to share their experiences and provide important context to the 2024 WMR poll results.
Manufacturers – Please use this form for more information and to indicate your interest in participating in a future focus group.
