Waukesha Metal Products

The Task at Hand

With more than 50 years of experience, Waukesha Metal Products has grown into a full-service metals manufacturing partner for complex metal stamping and metal fabrication programs. Their capabilities span precision stamping, sheet metal fabrication, tool and die, welding, machining, engineering, and value-added operations, with production across facilities in Wisconsin and Mexico. While certainly impressive, that depth wasn’t always easy to see from the outside. WMP needed a marketing presence that better communicated the scale of their operation, the sophistication of their processes, and the range of markets they support.

A redesigned website brought capabilities, industries, locations, and technical expertise into clearer focus. Original photography and video gave customers an authentic look inside the walls of WMP, while updated sales tools, SEO, and ongoing social media carried the same story across multiple channels.
