Awards are presented in three categories based on the number of employees: Small Category – 99 or less; Medium – 100 to 399; Large Category – 400 or greater. In addition, The Emerging Manufacturer of the Year Award may be presented to one company that has been in operation for five or fewer years and has demonstrated superior performance.
