MoldMaking Technology's Leadtime Leader Awards are in their 12th year of recognizing and honoring North American mold manufacturers who are raising the bar when it comes to efficiency, quality, innovation and commitment within their moldmaking operations. And this year's winners are no exception. Both stand out for their investments in continuous improvement, efforts in workforce development and passion for their people.
 
“It is truly an honor and a privilege to receive this year’s Leadtime Leader Award. We consider this one of the most prestigious awards in our industry, and the fact that we are in the company of some of the best in the country that have won this award is a clear testimony to the passion we have for our profession.” —Ray Coombs, President, Westminster Tool.
 
“If I was asked 32 years ago if we ever thought we would be as successful as we are today, I would say, ‘Yes!’ Everyone has ideals and goals, and my idea of success is exactly where we are today: a solid healthy company with good people and an outstanding product. Winning the Leadtime Leader Honorable Mention confirms that distinction within our industry. We thank the team of judges in recognizing our ability and innovation. The entire Aalbers team can be proud of winning this award. Without this team it would never be possible.” —Toni Hansen, President, Aalbers Tool and Mold.
