IndustryWeek's Best Plants program began in 1990, the brainchild of an IW editor who believed there were manufacturing plants across North America that deserve recognition for the amazing work going on in their facilities.

IndustryWeek still believes amazing work is going on in manufacturing facilities across North America. For the 23rd consecutive year, IndustryWeek is pleased to present its annual salute to manufacturing excellence. The 2012 class of IndustryWeek's Best Plants winners demonstrates that operational excellence continues to prosper in manufacturing -- and manufacturers continue to strive for even greater performances.
