Testimonials From Our Partners
One of the best ways to communicate who we are and what we do? Share direct quotes from those we’ve been privileged to work shoulder-to-shoulder with. These testimonials begin to touch on the spectrum of services WMEP offers to small and medium Wisconsin manufacturers.

When WMEP came on board, we were completely unorganized—we needed something to get us in line. And I thought I needed to be involved in everything. But the minute I started letting go and other people started to realize what they were good at and enjoyed doing, things started to turn around. After working with WMEP, we’re a completely different company. We’re not thinking small family business mentality anymore. We’re thinking national, we’re thinking growth, strategic. And everything throughout this entire company just runs smoother.

We just surpassed the $15 million mark per year. There’s no way we could have done that without WMEP’s help. One thing that I was leery about, working with a consulting group, was them wanting to change who we are. WMEP allowed us to be who we are but polished us to become better and still maintain the same attitude and the same swagger. We have a great future ahead of us and we are going to continue with WMEP because there’s so much we still need to learn.

Everybody in our facility was engaged and excited about the automation. They could see this would help make our product better and easier to produce, and they were fully on board.
