WalzCraft Celebrates MFG Day

October is Manufacturing Month, and the first Friday of the month is Manufacturing Day. MFG Day promotes modern manufacturing and the importance it has on local, national, and global economies. As a manufacturer, WalzCraft is proud to provide jobs in the La Crosse community and build high-quality products.

This year, MFG Day landed on October 3rd, 2025. To celebrate, WalzCraft provided custom t-shirts to our dedicated Team Members to thank them for their hard work. The celebration continued with a company-wide catered lunch.

Manufacturing Mania 2025

WalzCraft Plant Tour

Career Exploration at WalzCraft

On August 21–22, 2025, WalzCraft welcomed two energetic groups of students to our facility as part of Western Technical College’s Manufacturing Mania summer program. This hands-on event offered middle school students (Grade 7-9) the opportunity to explore careers in advanced manufacturing, robotics, and engineering technologies, while getting a behind-the-scenes look at real production environments.

Led by WTC instructors in advanced manufacturing, robotics, and agricultural business, the students toured our manufacturing operations and learned how custom cabinet components are made—from concept to completion. The visit gave students a glimpse into the technical skills, creativity, and teamwork required in today’s modern manufacturing jobs.

The program is designed to immerse middle school-aged children in all of the options that junior colleges have to support local manufacturers, and to connect students with the necessary skills in a real work environment. We were proud to participate in this program, helping young minds explore rewarding careers in manufacturing while encouraging curiosity, innovation, and hands-on problem-solving.

Build My Future 2025: Driftless Area

A Day of Discovery: Students Explore the Trades

President John F. Kennedy said, “Children are the world’s most valuable resource and its best hope for the future.” He was right, the same rings true today, and with the rising cost of post-secondary education, it benefits area high school youth to be exposed to different career paths available to them. Build My Future is an annual event executed by the La Crosse Area Builders’ Association at the Onalaska Omni Center, and WalzCraft is a proud participant in all three years the event has taken place.

The WalzCraft Team helped students build mini mitered cabinet doors that resembled a frame with an inspirational quote. The event hosted over 1,000 students from area high schools, and students also got to sign up for a Milwaukee Tool Set giveaway!

Thank you to all of our Team Members who made this event a success!
