Cooley will offer an in-depth, remote look inside … our facilities.The Manufacturing Leadership Council, a division of the National Association of Manufacturers, unveiled the list of world-class manufacturing companies and individual leaders set to receive recognition as winners of the 2020 Manufacturing Leadership Awards. “At a time when the industry is more innovative and competitive than it ever has been, these award winners truly stand out as leaders of manufacturing’s digital transformation,” said David R. Brousell, Manufacturing Leadership Council co-founder, executive director and vice president. “We congratulate them for their outstanding achievements.” Entries were submitted in 12 categories that honor outstanding achievements by individuals and organizations that are shaping the future of global manufacturing. Cooley was recognized in three categories: Collaborative Innovation, Industrial Internet of Things, and Sustainability. Cooley’s collaboration is central to the company’s culture. The Manufacturing Leadership Council recognized this achievement by acknowledging Cooley with the Collaborative Innovation award for our “Team of Teams” collaboration model. We also received the Industrial Internet of Things award for success in the transformation of our legacy assets into smart tech. Members of the Manufacturing Leadership Council, National Association of Manufacturers and Rhode Island Manufacturers Association will be invited to a virtual tour of Cooley’s manufacturing facilities in the fall. Cooley will offer an in-depth, remote look inside each one of our facilities to see firsthand how we transitioned from analog tracking to data capture in our manufacturing facilities. For the second year in a row, Cooley received the council’s award for sustainability in manufacturing. This year, Cooley’s conversion of landfill waste to energy was awarded in the Sustainability category. Cooley is committed to reducing our landfill contributions to zero. Along with converting waste to energy, the company also achieves this strategic objective through our commitment to take back all our customers’ used Cooley products at the end of their useful life to reprocess them into new, recycled Cooley solutions. The recognition and corresponding internal celebration provide a brief reprieve from the team’s ongoing effort to remain safe and fully operational throughout the pandemic. I am proud of Cooley’s ability to go above and beyond “business as usual” to look after themselves and their peers throughout this tiresome time. Daniel Dwight is CEO and president of Pawtucket-based Cooley Group.
