ARMSTRONG, Iowa, May 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Art's Way
Manufacturing Co., Inc. (NASDAQ: ARTW), announces its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Art's Way Scientific, Inc.
(www.buildingsforscience.com), was awarded a 2016 Award of
Distinction by the Modular Building Institute (MBI), at the annual
World of Modular Conference in San Diego,
California last month.
The award winning modular Calf Intensive Care Nursery and Clinic
was designed, manufactured and installed for Daisy Farms,
Paris, Texas. With competition in
over 30 categories, MBI's contest is the commercial modular
industry's premier awards program for it members, which includes
manufacturers, dealers, product and service providers. Each entry
is reviewed by an impartial panel of industry and non-industry
construction and code experts, architects and engineers, and
marketing professionals. Building entries are judged on
architectural excellence, technical innovation &
sustainability, and cost effectiveness, including energy
efficiency, and calendar days to complete.
"This project is a great example of the evolution of our product
offering," said Dan Palmer,
President of Art's Way Scientific. "The Daisy Farms project, and
recent orders from GBI, Nutriquest, and a confidential contract
research laboratory client, worth over $1,750,000, is a combination of our laboratory
animal research experience and our long standing leadership of
agricultural calf and swine nursery buildings. We can meet
requirements outlined in The Guide for the Care and Use of
Agricultural Animals in Research and Teaching (Ag Guide) using
simpler environmental controls and equipment than our high
containment BSL3 facilities. This gives users the choice in levels
of containment and animal environment that best match their
research needs."
Dr. Dana Beckler, DVM, MS, the
founder of Gut Bugs, Inc. (GBI) reports that, "Modular research
buildings from Art's-Way Scientific have allowed us to move quickly
and be competitive in the contract agricultural research
business. These buildings can be built to any specific
requirements, are self-contained and made of high quality
components. From designing the building, to on-site
installation, the people at Art's-Way Scientific are knowledgeable,
experienced and great to work with."
Marc McConnell, Chairman of the
Board, said, "We are honored to have received the Award of
Distinction from the modular building institute and pleased to be
finding new market segments for our modular building product line.
This supports our company wide commitment to design and construct
modular building products that fit our clients' needs, at the right
price and with customer service that exceeds expectations."
