TLMI announces Eugene Singer Award winners

Tag and Label Manufacturers Institute (TLMI) recently announced the winners of the Eugene Singer Award for Management Excellence. One of TLMI’s highest honors, this award recognizes excellence in business management measured and defined by an established set of growth and profitability ratios through the TLMI Management Ratio Study.

The Singer Award is given annually to four label converting companies; each company within a certain sales range category. The 2008 TLMI Eugene Singer Awards were given to the following North American narrow web converting companies:

? Fountain Valley, California-based Coast Label Company won in its category for the second time. The small company category is defined by annual sales of less than $6 million.

? Fairfield, Ohio-based Kopco Graphics won for the mid-range company category, defined by sales of $6-$14 million. This is Kopco’s first TLMI Eugene Singer Award.

? Burr Ridge, Illinois-based GSI won for the medium company category, defined by sales of $15-$35 million. This is GSI’s fifth TLMI Eugene Singer Award.

? Longwood, Florida-based Consolidated Label won for the large company category defined by sales greater than $35 million. This is Consolidated Label’s seventh Eugene Singer Award.

TLMI president Frank Sablone commented: ‘TLMI would like to congratulate this year’s Eugene Singer Award Winners. As an industry association our central mission is to constantly deliver value back to our members; and the TLMI Management Ratio Study has proven to be a benchmarking vehicle that does just that. The percentage participation rate in the Ratio Study was higher this past year than it has ever been, and it’s an honor to be able to continue to provide this service to our converter members.’
