News » Manufacturers benefit from consulting group
July 22, 2010
Manufacturers in northeast Wisconsin benefited more from a non-profit consulting group than any other region in the state.
A report from the Wisconsin Manufacturing Extension Partnership shows that the group helped create nearly 400 jobs in the New North and had an economic impact of $80 million.
Statewide, that impact was $164 million and nearly 1,000 jobs.
Mike Klonsinski is the executive director of WMEP, and he says in general, manufacturers are a bit more optimistic. He says companies that made a long-term investment did better during the recession and are in a better position coming out of it.
Of the $80 million impact in the New North, $54 million is credited to increased or retained sales and $15 million in cost savings. |
