Testimonial: Stephanie Sobczak

“Organizations like FaB Wisconsin bring this industry together in a way that’s truly hard to replicate. I think here in Wisconsin in particular, there’s a strong sense of pride in what we produce. Whether it’s dairy, beverages, prepared foods, or one of the manufacturing-adjacent companies, there is a general sense of willingness to support each other and share knowledge to keep that standard high, and I see that commonality shared often throughout this group.”

— Stephanie Sobczak, Business Development Director at Eurofins

Testimonial: Brian Durst

“FaB brings together a community of companies and individuals interested in helping to grow the food ecosystem here in Wisconsin. Practically, the authentic relationships developed through FaB allow my company to answer questions quickly and rapidly navigate new obstacles. We’re happy to then share our learnings with others to continue to advance the whole FaB community.”

One of the keys to the success of our people is learning from the great food and beverage companies here in Wisconsin. FaB is an excellent connector, allowing us to connect and meet with other manufacturers and industry companies to reach this goal. This is why we’ve been members from the very beginning and continue to be members. A FaB membership gives you this opportunity for a competitive advantage.”
