Sandvik Coromant PU Westminster was named one of IndustryWeek’s top four Best Plants Award winners for 2022. Located in Westminster, Sandvik Coromant is a tool manufacturer. IndustryWeek lauded the winners for demonstrating that “excellence on the plant floor is achievable in less-than-perfect operating conditions and without clear visibility ahead.” The 2022 IW Best Plants Award winners comprise the 32nd class of honorees. They join an IW Best Plants community that dates to 1990 and shares many traits: strong, participative leadership; smart, team-oriented workforces; keen understanding of plant-floor and supply chain operations; and an unswerving desire to always do better. The other three winners are: NOV Texas Oil Tools, Conroe, Texas; Protolabs Injection Molding Facility, Plymouth, Minnesota; and The Raymond Corporation, Greene, New York. “Things were supposed to be better in 2021,” said Robert Schoenberger, IndustryWeek editor-in-chief. “We went into the year thinking that supply chains would normalize, and we could all get back to business as usual. Instead, it’s still incredibly difficult to get materials into plants and finished goods out. The IW Best Plants class of 2022 suffered along with their peers, but they also rededicated themselves to manufacturing excellence, delivering clear wins in a rough market.” The winners will be profiled in the fall edition of IndustryWeek, available at www.industryweek.com. |
