It's a time-honored tradition in the field of marketing -- to congratulate a person or company in your field that achieves success, wins an award or reaches a milestone. Today, software provider IQMS Corp. did just that, with this news release congratulating two of its customers, Donnelly Custom Manufacturing Co. and Plastic Components Inc., for being selected as finalists for Plastics News Processor of the Year award.
The release also congratulates the winner of the PN award, Innovative Injection Technologies Inc., and "recognizes that organization as an exceptional company."
"We are proud that IQMS ERP software has played an important role in contributing to the success of our customers, especially as they are being recognized throughout the plastics industry," said Randy Flamm, president of IQMS. "We'd like to extend our sincere congratulations to PCI and Donnelly Custom Manufacturing for achieving this coveted position. We are thrilled that two out of the three finalists are IQMS customers; that fact speaks volumes to the success and impact our software has had in helping them obtain such prominent status."
IQMS, which is based in Paso Robles, Calif., designs and develops enterprise resource planning (ERP) software.
Let me add my own congratulations to the chorus. We had three excellent finalists this year, and it wasn't easy to pick a winner. Good job, i2tech!
And for all the other successful companies out there, start to think about nominating yourself (or, if you're an OEM or supplier, the best processor you know) for our 2008 award. We'll start to solicit nominations in July.

Not only did IQMS have the two finalists, Donnelly Manufacturing and PCI Plastic Components, Inc., recognized as Processor of the Year finalists but they have customers that have received recognition at a state level for their achievements in manufacturing.
CEPS Inc., an injection mold maker based out of New Hampshire, was awarded the Supplier Recognition Award presented by the New England Trade Adjustment Assistance Center (NETAAC). CEPS achieved recognition status for its phenomenal performance during a major program redesign that was undertaken as part of the company's ongoing commitment to continuous improvement and lean manufacturing principles.
CEPS recently went through a major company-wide training in lean manufacturing principles, and assigned three lean teams that now met regularly to identify and eliminate waste from the company's systems, processes and facility layout. Part of CEPS's continuous improvement efforts included the decision to purchase and implement IQMS's ERP software.
For the third year in a row, Plastic Components, Inc. was recognized as a finalist at the 20th Anniversary of the Wisconsin Manufacturer of the Year. The Wisconsin Manufacturer of the Year Award exemplifies the elite of manufacturing in innovation, commitment to excellence, dedication to employees and investment in Wisconsin communities. Plastic Components, Inc. also recently won the IQ Award. The IQ Awards program celebrates innovations in business.
