MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, June 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Four manufacturing leaders who are driving the transformation of manufacturing as a sustainable, safe, and responsible source of global economic growth and innovation were recognized last night with top honors at the 10th annual Manufacturing Leadership Awards, presented by the Manufacturing Leadership Community, part of Frost & Sullivan.

The Manufacturing Leadership Awards also announced its first-ever recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award, Richard E.

Dauch's family members, David C. Dauch, Richard Dauch, and Sandy Dauch, accepted the award posthumously.

Eleven winners of ML High Achiever Awards and one winner of the ML Editors' Choice Awards were also announced. The High Achiever Awards are presented to a select group of ML Award-winning projects announced earlier this year.  High Achievers received the most votes from the judges in each of the nine ML Award categories.

Also honored were winners of the ML Technology Partner Awards and President's Awards. These technology providers played key roles in enabling ML Award winners to achieve outstanding performance.

"Once again this year, ML Award winners exemplify a rising spirit in the manufacturing industry to 'break the egg' – to re-think assumptions, transform business models, employ game-changing technologies, and aggressively move ahead to a better future," said David R. Brousell, Global Vice President & Editorial Director, Manufacturing Leadership Community. "Innovation has truly become the driving force in the industry today."

Bartles, a longtime leader in the defense manufacturing industry and a member of the Manufacturing Leadership Council, was recognized for his tireless advocacy for the education of manufacturing's future leaders and many other accomplishments.

Lewis was honored for her success in making environmental health and safety a number one priority at Dow and beyond.

Boeing was selected as the Large Manufacturer of the Year for its ThreatNavigator project, a system that taps into data feeds from around the globe to provide a real-time situational operating picture with visual analytics. Boeing uses ThreatNavigator to protect its supply chain and its most valuable asset: its people.

Plastic Molding Technology was honored as the Small/Medium Manufacturer of the Year for two transformational projects, a comprehensive lean continuous improvement initiative and a multi-dimensional, integrated sustainability project that, together, produced significant and ongoing savings and resulted in record earnings for PMT.
