MRS Machining is this year's Top Shops Honors
Program winner in the human resources category.
A women-owned small business since 1986, the
Augusta, Wisconsin contract shop has built its
business on relationships and family values. It
works with local high schools such as Eleva-Strum
Central High School (where it also donated CNC
machines) and the Chippewa Valley Technical
College (CV TC) to improve their skilled trades
programs in part because the company has a
critical, ongoing need for capable, qualif ied
people. MRS Machining also hosts annual tours
during which groups of students get to see the
shop. Ongoing education is another aspect of its
in-house training to nurture its workers' skills.
The shop offers a range of employee benefits
and programs including a 401(k) plan, paid med-
ical benefits, apprenticeship program, formal
safety/health program and leadership/supervisor
program. The average age of its shopfloor employ-
ees is only 31, but the average years of experience
is 9.
