As a building and development boom continues in southeastern Wisconsin construction-related firms once again make up a major portion of the Future 50 companies, honored annually by the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce and its Council of Small Business Executives.
This year, 14 of the Future 50 companies are construction-related firms, a record for that industry in the awards program’s history. The number of construction firms in the Future 50 has been gaining in recent years. Last year there were 12, in 2016 there were nine.
“The Future 50 are a great gauge of where the region is today and where it’s headed,” said Stephanie Hall, COSBE’s executive director. “From the downtown arena and high rises to suburban mixed-use projects, these companies are riding the wave of new development. And with construction on Foxconn and the Haribo plants beginning soon, this trend shows no signs of slowing down in the near future.”
The annual Future 50 program, now in its 31st year, recognizes companies in the seven-county Milwaukee Region that have been rapidly growing. To qualify for the award, a company must be headquartered in the seven-county Milwaukee Region and be independently-owned; have been in business for at least three years; and demonstrate strong growth in revenue and employment. There is no age limit for the companies, since companies can innovate and reinvent themselves at any time.
A company can receive the Future 50 award up to three times.
The winners of the Future 50 will receive their awards at a luncheon program on Friday, Sept. 21, at The Pfister Hotel in downtown Milwaukee. BizTimes Milwaukee is the media sponsor of the Future 50 program. Click here to register.
