Fond du Lac is an exciting mid-sized city at the foot of Lake Winnebago, Wisconsin’s largest inland lake. With a population of more than 40,000, Fond du Lac offers much to the prospecting business entrepreneur; to the couple looking for a great place to live, work, and raise a family; and to those who long to be close to nature and all that nature holds in recreational amenities.

Fond du Lac’s location places it within 60 minutes of Wisconsin’s three biggest markets — Milwaukee, Madison and Green Bay/the Fox Cities — where half of the state’s people live, work and play. It is for this reason that Fond du Lac is an important manufacturing and distribution center. Firms located here draw from a large pool of well educated and highly skilled workers.
