Leading Manufacturers
Mechanical Manufacturing
Milwaukee’s roots are in producing the industrial equipment and machinery that have long powered America’s economy
From the first time a Harley-Davidson motorcycle roared to life, to the latest artificial intelligence breakthroughs by Rockwell Automation, the region has consistently supported new ideas that change the world. Today, Milwaukee manufacturing plants and research facilities are paving the way for the next generation of smart machines. Milwaukee is a national leader in precision manufacturing.
The region’s diverse mix of manufacturing companies produces everything from basic foundry parts to low-emission engines, advanced aviation systems and sophisticated industrial controls. In addition to the many world-renowned manufacturers that call Milwaukee home, the region is home to hundreds of smaller manufacturers that create a valued supply chain.
University and technical college support
The region’s technical colleges and universities provide critical training and research support, including applied technology centers that manufacturers can use to test their designs and create prototypes. Technology transfer programs help companies turn ideas into marketable products.
