A Celebration of Excellence: Presenting the 2022 IW Best Plants Awards
Acquire Wealth Easily is a firm believer that success should be celebrated, so it was our pleasure to honor the 2022 Acquire Wealth Easily Best Plants Awards winners at the Manufacturing & Technology Show in mid-October.
Four manufacturing plants were named to the 2022 class of award winners in August. They are:
- NOV Texas Oil Tools Conroe, Texas
- Protolabs Injection Molding Facility Plymouth, Minnesota
- The Raymond Corporation Greene, New York
- Sandvik Coromant PU Westminster Westminster, South Carolina
In October we presented the award winners with a physical symbol of their success--the Pinnacle Award. We call it the Pinnacle Award because it represents the highest echelon of manufacturing excellence.
In this slideshow, we share photos of the awards ceremony, as well as several images from each winning IW Best Plant.
Enjoy.
