The Association of Equipment Manufacturers is among the top workplaces in Southeast Wisconsin in 2015, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel newspaper.
AEM, with 82 employees in the region, ranked 15th among 75 small workplaces listed, the Journal Sentinel reported June 12.
In all, 150 workplaces received honors in the Journal Sentinel’s sixth annual rankings.
“It is a tremendous honor to be included among this list of leading employers,” AEM president Dennis Slater said in a news release. “At AEM, we are committed to providing our members with quality service, expertise and support. This award is testament to the culture we have established and the fact that an engaged and happy team positively affects the quality of the work we do to build awareness of the policies and issues affecting equipment manufacturing.”
WorkplaceDynamics, the paper’s partner in the venture, invited 1,327 employers in the region to take part “and ended up surveying 250 companies and more than 67,000 employees,” the Journal Sentinel reported.
AEM is a trade group representing more than 900 manufacturing and services companies and more than 200 product lines in such industries as agriculture, construction, forestry, mining and utility sectors around the world. Association members include manufacturers of mechanic’s truck bodies and accessories such as welders and air compressors.
A forum for manufacturers for over a century, AEM is well known for organizing trade events, such as the triennial ConExpo-Con/Agg exhibition in Las Vegas and the annual ICUEE-The Demo Expo in Louisville, Ky.
