Enter the 2024 IndustryWeek Best Plants Awards Competition

Jan. 24, 2024
This annual awards competition salutes manufacturing excellence across North America. Deadline is March 18.

IndustryWeek is once again in search of operational excellence on the manufacturing floor. Do your manufacturing practices drive stellar performances? Are your employees united in their efforts to improve plant operations? If the answer to these questions is yes, then it’s time to enter your manufacturing plant in the 2024 IndustryWeek Best Plants Awards competition.

The IW Best Plants competition annually recognizes plants, located in North America, that are on the leading edge of efforts to increase competitiveness, enhance customer satisfaction, and create stimulating and rewarding work environments. This competition launched in 1990.

2024 IW Best Plants Competition Entry Form

In 2023 we named two IW Best Plants Awards winners: Cooper Standard, Aguascalientes - Mixing, located in Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes, Mexico, and Intertape Polymer Group, located in Carbondale, Illinois. It was our pleasure to share their stories with the IndustryWeek audience.

A new year is here and so we begin the search for our next group of honorees. The About the IndustryWeek Best Plants Program page outlines the rules, the eligibility requirements, the costs to participate, as well as the selection process and tentative timeline. It also contains links directly to the online competition form.
