Mity-Lite Honored for Innovation and Manufacturing Excellence
Mity-Lite Selected As 2009 Manufacturer of the Year (100+ Employees)
Utah's Manufacturing Extension Partnership recognized Orem-based Mity-Lite Inc., as its "2009 Manufacturer of the Year - 100+ Employees." Utah Lt. Governor Greg Bell presented the award to the leading manufacturer of lightweight durable tables and seating products during a presentation today at the State Capital.
In selecting Mity-Lite, MEP Utah recognized the company's senior management team for transforming its operations into an innovative, performance-driven organization since being acquired in July 2007.
"It takes a talented individual with experience and vision to drive this level of operational change," said Mity-Lite CEO Randy Hales. "It quickly became clear that Don Blohm was the ideal leader to drive this change when he joined the company as our Chief Operations Officer in September 2008."
Mity-Lite has undergone a complete transformation in terms of structure, business processes, and operations to support a product marketing focus. This transformation is notable and unique as it has been accomplished in a remarkably short time with significant improvements in financial performance, award-winning new product offerings, and a more efficient, safer, and stable workplace for Mity-Lite employees.
As one of the key business drivers, the company has encouraged "innovation" in all aspects of the business, which has spawned the launch of several significant, game-changing products just beginning to impact the revenue and profit streams of the company. Among the company's most recent new product introductions are the Al-13 Aluminum Table <http://www.mitylite.com/al13-folding-table.html> line and the Mesh∙One Folding Chair <http://www.mitylite.com/mesh-chair.html> , which was recognized with an Innovation Award earlier this year by the Utah Technology Council.
