TLP Named One of the Top 10 Workplaces in Southeastern Wisconsin
May 26, 2010


Tailored Label Products was named one of the Top 100 Workplaces in Southeastern Wisconsin, ranking 4th among the Small Business Division.

The company also earned special recognition under the “Collegiality” category for teamwork. “We have high expectations for our employees, but we also recognize the importance of a family atmosphere and an open line of communication with management. We want our employees to know we value their contributions,” said Mike Erwin, co-owner and president of Tailored Label Products, Inc.

The award, sponsored by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, is unusual in the fact that company employees are surveyed anonymously about their feelings of the company. At TLP, 48 out of 63 employees returned surveys ranking the company in a variety of categories such as how valued they feel, how flexible their working conditions are, etc.

This is the eighth award TLP has received for being a good place to work, in addition to numerous awards recognizing their quality manufacturing and community service.
TLP has carved out industry-leading niches through innovative product development and by manufacturing custom engineered label and pressure-sensitive parts for electronics, automotive, aerospace, medical, biotech and industrial applications.

TLP 2008 William Pierce Award recipient!
February 19, 2009


Tailored Label Products was awarded the 2008 William Pierce Award by the Menomonee Falls School District for their commitment to the Second Chance Program, a non-traditional learning and employment opportunity for at-risk students. It is another positive way for students to develop life skills. The students enroll for a two-year study. They rotate to four different manufacturers, working a six-hour day followed by two hours of classroom instruction. The employer agrees to pay the wage for an eight-hour day in addition to an annual fee to cover the cost of the program administration. TLP is currently mentoring it’s 3rd student.

Due to economic challenges facing the community, the 2nd Chance classroom provided by a local manufacturer was discontinued (a local plant closing)…so our team stepped up and helped design and make available a full time classroom for the 14 local participants and their instructor.
