Small Manufacturing Innovation from Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Dustin Mattison recently interviewed Kathy Bornheimer who discussed small manufacturing innovation with a Wisconsin perspective. What Kathy is seeing right now in Milwaukee Wisconsin is that the larger companies are still doing the laying off and the smaller companies need a work force. Sometimes there is a disconnect. Wisconsin has the advantage of diversity in manufacturing. Kathy likes to say that “as long as people are eating, drinking and going to the bathroom there will be manufacturing in Wisconsin because of what we do up here.” The suppliers of the large organizations are also still predominant.
