“We strive every day for continuous improvement and to be the easiest company to do business with,” said Jim McIntyre, president and CEO of Greenheck Group. “Earning the prestigious Wisconsin Manufacturer of the Year award is an amazing honor and it is all because of the extraordinary contributions made every day by our employees and business partners all over the world. We know there are many outstanding manufacturers in Wisconsin, and to be recognized is especially humbling.”
Due to its dedicated employee base, strong sales partners and suppliers, and continued product innovation to meet changing customer needs, annual sales at Greenheck Group have increased by 25% over the past three years. Consequently, the company has expanded and upgraded facilities at its headquarters in Schofield, Wisconsin and opened two new campuses in Shelby, North Carolina and Tulsa, Oklahoma this past year.
