It's Time to Enter the 2025 IndustryWeek Best Plants Awards Competition
IndustryWeek has launched the 2025 IndustryWeek Best Plants Awards competition, our annual search for manufacturing excellence in North America. If your manufacturing facility in the United States, Canada or Mexico is a showcase of employee teamwork, inspired leadership and enviable performances on the plant floor, then we want you.
IW has honored more than 250 IndustryWeek Best Plants Award winners since the program began in 1990, which is ample evidence that manufacturing excellence is alive and well in North America. In 2024, we honored two IW Best Plants Award recipients: HindlePower, Easton, Pennsylvania, and Hoffer Plastics Corp., South Elgin, Illinois.
The online 2025 IW Best Plants Competition Entry Form is available here. Simply create an account and get started.
The deadline to complete the 2025 entry form is April 4, 2025. An early-bird deadline of March 7 offers a discount.
This is a plant-level competition. To participate, your plant/facility must have completed at least three years of operation, and be located in the U.S., Canada or Mexico. To qualify as a manufacturing facility, the plant's output should be a physical product representing value-added.
The About the IndustryWeek Best Plants Program page outlines the complete rules, the eligibility requirements, the costs to participate, as well as the selection process and tentative timeline. It also contains links directly to the online competition form.
If you have any questions once you’ve reviewed the entry form, or if you have any questions anywhere along the way, please contact Jill Jusko, the IW Best Plants director at [email protected] or by phone at 518-323-9117.
