Each year, the governor bestows awards on a select few Oklahoma manufacturers in recognition of their pacesetting standards. The award-winning companies must be progressive, forward-thinking and willing to adapt to change to become more successful in their marketplace.

“They represent the enormous potential available in Oklahoma and take a leadership role in promoting the importance of doing business in and from our state,” said Dave Rowland, president of the Oklahoma Manufacturing Alliance. “These four companies are remarkable organizations and have had an amazing impact on their communities through their innovative growth.”

An awards committee made up of manufacturing professionals selects the winners from a long list of nominees. The awards were presented at the annual Oklahoma Conference on Manufacturing, sponsored by the Oklahoma Manufacturing Alliance.

ASC, Inc. (d/b/a Advanced Steel & Crane, Inc. in 2015) was announced winner of the Leadership Award for year 2015.
