All the honorees were featured in the 2023 February/March issue of Twin Cities Business and celebrated at an awards event on March 9, 2023.
The Manufacturing Excellence Award spotlights superior work from companies of all sizes related to product design and engineering, manufacturing processes, business operations, human capital, supply-chain management, and product or niche uniqueness. Companies must complete an extensive application to be considered, and are evaluated not only for their financial success, but also their growth, innovation, and local impact on Minnesota.
“Upsher-Smith is delighted to be recognized by Twin Cities Business with its annual Manufacturing Excellence Award,” said Rich Fisher, President and COO of Upsher-Smith. “Our new 270,000 square foot, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Maple Grove allows us to continue our reputation for producing high-quality products with no interruptions in supply. We plan to use this innovative asset to support our own organic production as well as partners looking for end-to-end supply chain solutions in the contract manufacturing space.”
Added Fisher, “The Company’s prime geographical location and high-quality workforce allow Upsher-Smith to offer controlled costs and award-winning levels of customer support.”
