Products Finishing Magazine released the list of the Top Shops 2018 recognizing companies within the coating industry that exemplify the best finishing practices, most efficient procedures and sophisticated business operations. Anoplate Corporation made the list for the 4th consecutive year, becoming 1 of only 13 companies in the U.S. to receive this recognition since the inception of the award. Anoplate was the only company in New York State to make the list of Top Shops 2018.
“Being recognized as an industry leader is both humbling and fulfilling. We focus on the needs of our employees which allows them to meet the needs of our customers. This has been our basic guiding principle since my father, Milt Stevenson Sr. founded Anoplate in 1960.” -Jim Stevenson, President and CEO Anoplate Corporation
The magazine conducted an extensive benchmarking survey that analyzed a company in several different areas, including Current Finishing Technology, Finishing Practices and Performances, Business Strategies and Performances, and Training and Human Resources.
Only the top 50 shops were given the honor of being a Products Finishing magazine ‘Top Shop’ based on a scoring matrix of those four criteria.
“Anoplate Corporation has established itself as one of the best finishing operations in the industry,” said Tim Pennington, editor of Products Finishing magazine. “The criteria we used was very stringent, and only the finishing shops that excelled in all four areas made the list. Anoplate is in rare air when it comes to finishing operations.”
Anoplate was founded by Milt Stevenson, Sr., in 1960 to serve a growing need among what was then a very small, locally based machine shop and tool industry.
