“FARO is honored to be named Manufacturer of the Year by the Manufacturers Association of Florida,” says David Morse, FARO’s managing director and senior vice president for the Americas. “We have a fantastic team and have really improved operational efficiencies to deliver world-class products and services to our customers. This award is recognition of those efforts, yes, but we are students of continuous improvement, and I know our team is up to the challenge to take FARO to the next level.”
Twenty-four judges narrowed the competition to 16 finalists, and winners were chosen in four categories based on company size. Each company was judged on leadership, strategic planning, customer and market focus, performance measurement, process management, and other criteria. Tours of finalists’ facilities were also conducted to determine the winners.
“All of our finalists demonstrate a commitment to excellence in the manufacturing business, but our winners are the ‘best of the best’ manufacturers in Florida this year,” says Nancy Stephens, executive director of the Manufacturers Association of Florida. “We are proud of their commitment to their business, their customers, and their employees.”
