Prototype and low-volume production parts manufacturer Proto
Labs, Inc. (NYSE: PRLB) has been awarded a 2015 Manufacturing
Leadership Award by corporate growth consulting firm Frost &
Sullivan. In its 11th year, the awards honor manufacturing
companies and individual manufacturing leaders that are shaping the
future of global manufacturing.
Frost & Sullivan’s Manufacturing Leadership Council—a
member-driven, global business leadership network of more than 100
members—is responsible for selecting winners of the annual award.
Proto Labs was recognized in the Innovation Process Leadership
category for its Cool Idea! Award program, which provides gratis
prototyping and short-run production services to entrepreneurs
bringing inventive new product ideas to life.
“With Cool Idea!, we have the enviable task of working with
product designers, engineers and inventors during the infancy of
innovation, when their ideas are just beginning to take shape in
early prototype form,” says Vicki Holt, Proto Labs’ President and
CEO. “It’s extremely fulfilling to then watch these prototypes
become actual products that are released to market with the help of
our own innovative manufacturing processes.”
The Manufacturing Leadership Summit is set to follow in
Carlsbad, Calif. on June 2-4. Themed “The New Era of Creative
Manufacturing,” the three-day event gathers industry experts to
discuss challenges and new opportunities in manufacturing, and
culminates in an award’s gala to honor this year’s winners.
“We are delighted to have been presented with a leadership award
and applaud Frost & Sullivan’s effort to advance manufacturing
into the future,” says Holt. “Over the past year, Proto Labs has
continued to innovate by adding new capabilities like same-day
shipment on machined parts, new processes like metal injection
molding and liquid silicone rubber molding, and a third flagship
service with additive manufacturing. It all equates to faster and
more diverse parts that allow our customers to get products to
market sooner.”
