Door County's economy depends on tourism, however, manufacturing operations are also thriving thanks to a local supply chain.  That network helps industrial firms operate in an efficient and cost-effective manner.   Door County Economic Development Corporation Executive Director Jim Schuessler says having such synergistic relationships keeps Door County manufacturers competitive.

Schuessler says many businesses in the industrial park in Sturgeon Bay benefit from having members of the supply chain just up the road from each other.
