SenDEC Selected as 2007 Manufacturer of the Year By Manufacturing Today Magazine
SenDEC Recognized For Providing Customer Value Through its Design Capabilities and Overall Excellence
SenDEC Corporation, a leading provider of both contract electronics manufacturing services (EMS) and electronic monitoring and display devices, today announced they have been recognized by Manufacturing Today Magazine as a 2007 Manufacturer of the Year. SenDEC was noted for its ability to generate customer value through its engineering expertise and operational excellence within each of the company's two business units.
"To determine the companies that would be part of our annual Manufacturers of the Year section, we reviewed every firm we covered in the last year to find businesses that were successful with their operations, dealt with their employees and customers in a quality manner and had aggressive plans for growth", stated Staci Davidson, Chief Editor of Manufacturing Today. "We wanted our readers to see the business practices that we believe should ensure the U.S. Manufacturing industry remains successful."
Over the last three years, SenDEC's sales have increased by over 250%. SenDEC's Contract Electronics Manufacturing (CEM) business unit has rapidly expanded as new customers have recently been added - many of which have increased their business with the company. SenDEC's Products business unit - which manufactures meters, tachometers and other monitoring devices for a wide variety of markets in over 40 countries - has been able to increase its share in markets it serves as well as enter new ones through the introduction of new devices the company has designed and manufactured.
SenDEC was also recognized in 2007 by both Inc. Magazine and the Rochester Top 100 for its growth. In the Inc. 5,000, the company ranked 23rd in the nation and 3rd for New York for manufacturers. In the Rochester Top 100, SenDEC ranked 3rd and this was the second consecutive top three ranking for the company as it ranked #2 in the 2006 Rochester Top 100 list of fastest growing privately held companies in the region.
"We pride ourselves on providing high quality services and products, viewing Quality and Customer Service as a corporate philosophy versus departments, and keeping promises we make to our customers", says Ken Fiske, President and CEO of SenDEC Corporation. "We also leverage our thirty plus years of design and manufacturing expertise to identify ways to add value for our customers. The recognition we are receiving is a direct result of both existing and new customers valuing what we bring to the table and the dedication our employees demonstrate in meeting their needs" he added.
