Testimonial: Matt Wessel

“From the minute we joined FaB, we realized the power of being connected to other like-minded manufacturing businesses that were facing many of the same questions we were. We continue to highlight the networking piece as the biggest benefit we’ve realized in being FaB members, and one of the reasons we will continue to be members.”

Testimonial: Alan Goodman

“When I founded my business, I was completely new to the food industry. I ran a business in corporate America, but this was different. I really felt clueless at times as I navigated the food industry on the fly. But I found FaB Wisconsin. I joined FaB to take advantage of their vast amount of resources, from workshops to webinars, and just networking with the other members.”

— Alan Goodman, Founder of A Goodman’s Desserts

Testimonial: Giacomo Fallucca

“We have a saying at Palermo’s: we want to win with our people so we can win with our customers. 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.”

— Giacomo Fallucca, Chairman & CEO of Palermo’s Pizza

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.”

— Brian Durst, Chairman & CEO of Tribe 9 Foods
