Milltown, Wisconsin – Family Friendly Workplaces is proud to announce that Schaffer Manufacturing has been recertified as a Gold-Level Family Friendly Workplace. This recognition highlights their ongoing commitment to creating a workplace where employees can effectively balance their personal and professional responsibilities.

“Supporting the health and well-being of our employees and their families is central to who we are at Schaffer Manufacturing,” said Steven Schaffer, Owner & Chairman of Schaffer Manufacturing. “This recertification as a Family Friendly Workplace affirms the culture we’ve worked hard to build—one rooted in compassion, flexibility, and community.”

As part of this commitment, Schaffer Manufacturing continues to give back to the local community.
