Garlock Sweeps Rochester Business Journal's 12th Annual 'Best of the Web'
Palmyra, N.Y., February 19, 2009 - The Rochester Business Journal has
honored Garlock Sealing Technologies with the Overall-Gold award in its
2009 "Best of the Web" competition. The producer of industrial fluid sealing
devices also won an award for the best Web site in the manufacturing
category.
A panel of judges selected the Garlock site, which was one of three finalists
in its category, from hundreds of nominations "based on the content of the
site, usefulness, navigation, use of technology, design quality, e-commerce
and the likelihood of repeat visits."
Awards also were presented to the winners of seven other categories,
including business and professional services, cultural non-profit, education,
government/community, health care, real estate and construction, and
retail/hospitality.
The regional business publication began the competition in 1996 to "spotlight
the leading efforts among area businesses in what was then an emerging
phenomenon, the Worldwide Web."
This year's competition was sponsored by MSM Interactive Inc. and Time
Warner Cable.
