    2014 IndustryWeek Best Plants Finalists Named

    Sept. 29, 2014
    This annual salute to outstanding manufacturing has narrowed its search to 14 facilities across North America.

    IndustryWeek congratulates the finalists of the 2014 IW Best Plants competition, which annually salutes excellence in manufacturing across North America.

    This year's finalists represent manufacturing facilities across Canada, the United States and Mexico.

    While they are located throughout North America, these finalist facilities share several common elements, including admirable performance metrics, comprehensive efforts to improve across the many functions that occur within a manufacturing plant, and engaged workforces.
