President George W. Bush and Commerce Secretary
Carlos M. Gutierrez today announced that five organizations
are the recipients of the 2007 Malcolm Baldrige
National Quality Award, the nation’s highest Presidential
honor for organizational performance excellence.
PRO-TEC Coating Co., of Leipsic, Ohio was
selected.
“I am pleased to join President Bush
in congratulating the five outstanding organizations
that have been named to receive this year’s Baldrige
Award,” said Secretary Gutierrez. “The organizations
we recognize today have given us superb examples
of innovation, excellence and world-class performance.
They serve as role models for organizations of all
kinds striving to improve effectiveness and increase
value to their customers.”
The 2007 Baldrige Award recipients were selected
from a field of 84 applicants. All of the applicants
were evaluated rigorously by an independent board
of examiners in seven areas: leadership; strategic
planning; customer and market focus; measurement,
analysis and knowledge management; workforce focus;
process management; and results. The evaluation
process for the 2007 Baldrige Award recipients included
about 1,000 hours of review and an on-site visit
by teams of examiners to clarify questions and verify
information in the applications.
The 2007 Baldrige Award recipients are to be presented
with their awards in a ceremony in Washington, D.C.,
early next year.
