Precision Plus was one of nine Wisconsin companies declared winners of the 34th annual Wisconsin Manufacturer of the Year (MOTY) Awards for outstanding achievements in manufacturing. Precision Plus was named Wisconsin’s Manufacturer of the Year for Investment in the Next Generation.

A total of 28 manufacturing companies in Wisconsin were named finalists for the annual honors. The nine winning companies — who represent the state’s robust and diverse manufacturing industry — were honored for outstanding achievements in manufacturing.

Recipients were recognized as “the state’s top manufacturers of all sectors and sizes for their commitment to quality careers, good business practices, financial growth, innovative processes and reinvestment into local communities,” says the Wisconsin Manufacturing and Commerce (WMC).

“Our entire team was blown away when presented with the Wisconsin MOTY Special Award for Investment in the Next Generation,” says Michael J. Reader, Precision Plus president and owner. “The award recognizes our team’s commitment to raising awareness of the rewarding careers in manufacturing, showing today’s young adults a path forward — a pathway often overlooked by our current education system, who we continuously work with to develop upon.”

While heading into the banquet, the Precision Plus contingent was hopeful for a win in the “Small Category.” “But to be selected for this particular award among all Wisconsin companies, regardless of size, makes this recognition even more special,” Reader adds.

This award adds to Precision Plus’ record of business and workforce development efforts, and company culture recognitions after being named among Top Workplaces 2022 by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

“Receiving this award is a true testament to the efforts the Reader family and the entire team at Precision Plus have made over the course of the last decade,” says Amanda Griffoul, Precision Plus human resources manager. “Through exhaustive and comprehensive efforts, we make it our mission to make students, families, and educators within our community aware of the rewarding career opportunities available within precision machining and manufacturing right here in their very own backyard. Precision Plus continues to be a champion of technical education, focusing on every student’s return on investment.”

Precision Plus employs nearly 100 people and offers a Youth Apprenticeship and Intern Program.
