We are thinking of the Converting Corridor from Green Bay to Milwaukee. However, Wisconsin has over 220 companies with Converting Capabilities across the State! GBIG will be breaking out what is Converting to better understand the industry and its impact on the State of Wisconsin. In the past, we simply lumped Converting into one category and included it with the Paper Industry in annual sales revenue.
