Southeastern Wisconsin was the manufacturing capital of the Midwest through the 60’s and 70’s, with Allis Chalmers, Briggs and Stratton, Harnischfeger, Allen Bradley, and Harley Davidson to name a few giving the Milwaukee metropolitan area a strong heavy industry presence. Additionally, there were four major breweries employing over 10,000 people in their heyday.
The manufacturing world has changed a great deal over the past 20 years, with many large manufacturers reducing or eliminating their Wisconsin workforce to remain competitive. As a result, many smaller manufacturers have used their innovation and adaptability to create strong businesses in an extremely competitive international marketplace.
Komisar Brady has grown with these local manufacturers with our extensive knowledge of their financial and tax needs. Partner Edward Brady heads up our manufacturing practice group, with specialized knowledge in several specific manufacturing areas, including:
Tax incentives for federal manufacturing deduction
Property tax exclusions
Strategic planning
Research and development tax credits
Complex tax reporting to minimize tax impact of §263a adjustments
