Marion Body Works President Kevin Ignacio has recently joined the Board of Directors for the Northeast Wisconsin Manufacturing Alliance (NEWMA), bringing another local manufacturing leader to the table as the organization continues its work to strengthen the industry throughout Northeast Wisconsin.

Since its founding in 2006, NEWMA has brought together businesses, educators, and community partners with a shared goal of building a strong future for manufacturing in the region. Through its work, the Alliance helps create connections between local manufacturers and the communities they serve, with a particular focus on introducing the next generation to opportunities in manufacturing.

With more than 120 years of manufacturing experience in Wisconsin, Marion Body Works has seen firsthand how the industry continues to evolve. Its future depends not only on the work happening within individual companies, but also on the strength of the manufacturing community as a whole. Getting involved with organizations like NEWMA creates opportunities to share perspectives, build relationships, and help move the industry forward.

Kevin’s appointment reflects Marion Body Works’ continued involvement in the regional manufacturing community and its interest in helping shape what comes next. As Northeast Wisconsin continues to grow as a manufacturing hub, collaboration across the industry will remain an important part of that progress.
