ACR Electronics, a long-time friend of Coastal Angler Magazine, was recently recognized as one of the highest-performing manufacturers in Florida as a winner at the annual Florida Sterling Manufacturing Business Excellence Award Ceremony.
The Broward County-based company supplies safety and survival equipment crucial to boaters, aviators and military personnel everywhere. At the June ceremony in Orlando, the company was presented with the top award in the category for companies with up to 199 employees. It is the second prestigious manufacturing award for ACR Electronics this year. In March, it was named South Florida’s Manufacturer of the Year by the South Florida Manufacturers Association.
ACR was selected as the outstanding candidate for its exceptional leadership, strategic planning, customer and market focus, measurement, analysis and knowledge management, workforce and operations. ACR employees were also praised for their commitment to saving lives.
“We accept this award with great pride with the knowledge that this achievement is only possible with an exceptional team doing exceptional work,” said ACR Executive Vice President Gerry Angeli. “I was particularly pleased to hear feedback that a key determinant of our success was how enthusiastic, engaged and involved our employees are about saving lives.
“Our products must work the first time, every time, and that requires strong leadership with a dedication to quality from everyone that works at ACR Electronics.”
