Milwaukee, WI — The Wisconsin Manufacturing & Technology Show (WIMTS) 2025 opened today at the State Fair Exposition Center, bringing together a wide range of innovations in automation, machining, additive manufacturing, and smart factory solutions.  Here is the WIMT 2025 – Day 1 Recap.

Booth Activity

Our booth saw steady traffic throughout the day, with a moderate number of attendees overall and strong engagement from those who visited. President Ken Manninen and National Sales Manager Jim Timler are staffing the booth Day Two, meeting with customers and industry peers.

Innovations on Display

The show floor featured an impressive array of technology, including:

  • Automation & Robotics: New robots with enhanced safety and easy programming.

  • Additive & Hybrid Manufacturing: Machines that combine additive and subtractive processes.

  • Digital Twins & Smart Factories: Platforms for real-time simulation and predictive maintenance.

  • Sustainability: Energy-efficient equipment and eco-conscious materials.

Local Customer Appreciation

This year, we shared a special thank-you with local customers who RSVP’d by giving Wisconsin-made maple syrup and wine from Zeigler Winery. The gifts were a hit and sparked great conversations about local connections in manufacturing.

Looking Ahead

With more sessions and attendees expected tomorrow, we look forward to another productive day at WIMTS 2025. If you’re in Milwaukee, stop by our booth — we’d love to see you.
