COOL S TUFF
COOL STUFF made and designed in southeastern Wisconsin
The next time you’re driving down the highway or pass a business park full of what might seem like boring, rectangular buildings, take a few minutes to wonder what might be going on inside. Southeastern Wisconsin is home to thousands of manufacturers that make a wide range of products, from generators that keep the power on, to home ventilation products, to delicious pastries. For every one of those companies, there are also dozens or even hundreds of smaller suppliers that help make the final product. These companies all need employees and offer a chance to build a great career. Take a look at the descriptions below to get a better idea of some local products and a glimpse at some recent job openings at these companies.
