The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) will recognize Go Fast Manufacturing (Go Fast) for the first completed project eligible for WEDC’s Wisconsin Automation Implementation Grant. Go Fast will receive this award at a special event on March 28th at Go Fast’s manufacturing facility in New London, Wisconsin. This project was developed in partnershp with WMEP Manufacturing Solutions (WMEP), a non-profit organization that assists Wisconsin manufacturers in achieving growth and success.
The Wisconsin Automation Grant is designed to lower the risk of companies’ automation implementation by providing project selection and implementation assistance through WMEP’s Automation Advisor™, and financial support from the WEDC. This program helps support companies’ implementation of technology that mitigates the effects of long-term worker shortages, while increasing productivity and innovation capabilities leading to increased competitiveness and growth opportunities for Wisconsin manufacturers.
Go Fast Manufacturing is a rapidly growing “one-stop” pallet and sawmill equipment company that offers a catalogue of machinery that includes conveyors, green-chains, trim saws, resaws, dedusters, chopsaws, board stackers, and notcher machines. Go Fast focuses on innovation and always strives to build machine designs that allow its customers to achieve new levels of productivity and profitability.
Dan Berken, president of Go Fast shared, “We are pleased and honored to be the first recipient of WEDC’s Wisconsin Automation Grant and to have worked with WMEP Manufacturing Solution in the selection and implementation of technology that increases our capacity for significant future growth.”
