Growing Excellence…. The Waupaca area is home to over 600 businesses ranging from small local specialty shops to large global manufacturers employing over 1,000 people, all of which are integral to the community’s economic vitality.  

Through a progressive and aggressive approach to planning by Waupaca city officials, we have nurtured the development of a diverse business base that remains strong through business cycles. Manufacturing production, educational and health services, retail trade and other professional services are key industries in Waupaca. Their continued success is why the City has acquired land over the past ten years for additional industrial, commercial, office and retail development.

Waupaca’s employers are fortunate to be served by a highly-skilled workforce of approximately 28,000 hard-working, friendly individuals having a diversity of skilled trade experience and higher-education degrees.  The quality of the employees in the area is second-to-none, boasting a strong work ethic that has been passed on for generations.
