The meeting will feature Don Wickstrom, founder of Quest Industrial in Monroe, Wisconsin.  Don will tell the story of how innovation has played a key role in the development of his successful robotics firm.  Quest Industrial specializes in making robots for companies of all sizes.  These have included robots to do plastic injection molding, metal grinding, slicing cheese, and decorating cakes. The Quest Pro Pick Pack is the first robotic cell that will automatically erect a box, pack and seal it. Don will show videos and slides of some of these amazing robots in action!  An extraordinary presentation that you wont want to miss!

In 2009, Wickstrum was the recipient of the Entrepreneurial Spirit Award from the Green County Development Corporation; Southwest Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation awarded him Best Regional Entrepreneur for an established business; and the business college at his alma mater, UW-Platteville, awarded him with its Outstanding Alumni of the Year Award. Wickstrum and his wife, Mary, and two children own a home in Monroe, Wisconsin.

Plan to attend the Inventors and Entrepreneurs Club for a dynamic evening of networking with lots of creative people and plenty of resources to help you start or grow your business. Everyone is welcome and meetings are free and open to the public.  The Prairie du Chien-McGregor-Marquette Inventors and Entrepreneurs Club is supported by the Prairie du Chien Area Chamber of Commerce, the McGregor Marquette Chamber of Commerce, Prairie du Chien Downtown Revitalization and the Crawford County UW Extension Program in Economic Development.  For more information about this and other I&E Club meetings contact Laura Brown 608-326-0223 or check out the website at  http://crawford.uwex.edu/cnred/index.html
