South Carolina companies honored for manufacturing excellence
November 2, 2020
The Manufacturing Excellence Awards ceremony that anchors the final day of the 2020 S.C. Manufacturing Conference and Expo was held recently.
The virtual ceremony included Innovator of the Year Awards for Daedalus Industrial of Easley and for Archroma of Martin. Minileit Inc. of Greenville was named the Emerging Manufacturer of the Year. The Outreach Award was presented to Sun Surveillance of Spartanburg.
A group of special awards were created this year to recognize those companies that dealt with and overcame extraordinary circumstances to respond to the coronavirus pandemic and its fallout.
Five organizations were recognized for the SCMEP Beyond the Call of Duty Award. These are companies that “had a bias for action and made a major impact, not only in South Carolina but in the United States,” Spangler said. They were, BorgWarner of Seneca, ZVerse of Columbia, Nephron Pharmaceuticals Corp. of West Columbia, Hemmingway Apparel Manufacturing Co. of Williamsburg County, and Vikor Scientific of Charleston.
Jim Newsome, president and CEO of the S.C. Ports Authority, was presented the BlueCross BlueShield Manufacturing Lifetime Service Award during the Manufacturing Excellence Awards ceremony that anchors the final day of the 2020 S.C. Manufacturing Conference and Expo.
