Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (WMC) and Johnson Financial Group announced on Wednesday the top 16 products moving on in the seventh annual Coolest Thing Made in Wisconsin contest. The 16 Wisconsin-made products will move on to Manufacturing Madness — a head-to-head tournament-style bracket.
During the last seven years, the competition has racked up more than one million votes. Nearly 50,000 votes were cast over the last week alone. This annual competition is a tradition that highlights the state’s robust manufacturing industry that employs one in six people and creates roughly $65 billion of economic output each year.
