Headquartered in York, Pa., Glatfelter—a global manufacturer of specialty papers and engineered products—was honored during the third annual Progressive Manufacturing 50 Awards program, hosted by “Managing Automation,” a Thomas Publishing Company publication. The award acknowledges manufacturing companies that are progressive in their businesses, the management of their operations and the use of advanced technologies.
The 50 companies recognized had to achieve distinction in at least one of the eight core areas defined by “Managing Automation” as critical to future business success: business model, customer service, supply network, data and integration, innovation, training and education, leadership and operational excellence.
In addition to being counted among the top 50 progressive manufacturing firms, Glatfelter received the high achiever’s award for innovation for a new product development that has made a significant advance or breakthrough in product concept, design, production, or ability to deliver to customers. Glatfelter was recognized for its CLEAR initiative, which, among other things, dramatically increased its revenue from new products by accelerating new product innovation.
