FLORENCE, Ala., May 2, 2019 (Newswire.com) - OnPoint Manufacturing, Inc., an innovative leader in on-demand personalized apparel manufacturing, announced today their most recent honor, being named 2019 Alabama Manufacturer of the Year.
On Wednesday, May 1, 2019, the Business Council of Alabama and the Alabama Technology Network held their annual ceremony at the Alabama Activity Center in Montgomery, Alabama to recognize manufacturers from across the state who exhibit excellence in leadership, performance, profitability and workforce relations.
An independent panel of judges evaluated manufacturers based on demonstrations of superior performance in customer focus, employee commitment, operating excellence, profitable growth and investment in training and retraining. OnPoint was recognized for their innovation and advancement of computer directed manufacturing (CDM).
“All of us at OnPoint Manufacturing are incredibly honored to be the recipient of the Alabama Manufacturer of the Year award,” said J. Kirby Best, Chairman of OnPoint Manufacturing. “This award not only reflects the values and dedication of our team members but the unwavering support of the Florence community. The city welcomed us with open arms four years ago, and we are proud to bring this award home.”
