Wixon has been named to the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce /Council of Small Business Executives (MMAC/COSBE) Future 50, which recognizes 50 privately owned companies in southeastern Wisconsin that have demonstrated business growth and development as well as expanding employment opportunities. The Future 50 were honored at a luncheon Sept. 17 at the Hilton Milwaukee City Center.

"We position ourselves as a value-added partner," said Peter Gottsacker, Wixon's president. "One of our key strengths is our employee family. We value our employees and recognize that our company's success is based on our team's commitment to quality and service at every level."

Earlier this year, Wixon opened a $2.5 million state-of-the-art Innovations Center for Culinary & Meat Processing, designed to offer customers the latest in testing, new product development, demonstrations, and prototype food products.
