The other winners in the Operational Excellence Leadership category were Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corp., Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies, Peterbilt Motors Company, and Rockwell Automation.
"Winners of the 2016 ML Awards have proven that they are at the forefront of a global, technology-driven transformation that we call Manufacturing 4.0," said Global Vice President and Editorial Director of the Manufacturing Leadership Council David R. Brousell.
"By relentlessly improving and digitizing every corner of their operations, these outstanding leaders are not only delivering greater value to customers, they are redefining excellence in the manufacturing industry. We congratulate them," he added.
“We are immensely pleased to be recognized for operational excellence in an awards program that measures best-in-class performance among some of the largest and most well-run companies in the world. Once again, our team deserves to be commended for its commitment to maintaining the highest standards of operational performance in a high growth environment,” said John Sammut, Firstronic’s President and CEO.
