The Fabricator honors Ludlow Manufacturing with the 2024 Industry Award
- January 2, 2024

- Shop Management
The Fabricator magazine has named Ludlow Manufacturing, Waukegan, Ill., as the winner of its 2024 Industry Award.
Founded in 2005, Ludlow Manufacturing has grown its business more than 100% since 2019 while maintaining quality levels and a very high on-time delivery rate. The company has invested heavily in automation, robotics, and new metal fabricating technology, including a 20-kW laser cutting machine, over the same four-year period. Ludlow Manufacturing also received the FMA Safety Award of Honor in 2023 for avoiding any lost time due to a work-related accident or illness in the previous two years.
“Ludlow Manufacturing has been making quality parts and on-time deliveries for years, but it really hit its stride in recent years as it got serious about documenting processes and trying to tame the chaos associated with job shop work. As people got more engaged in following these newly instilled processes, they started seeing results in the form of fewer surprises and more adherence to schedules,” said Dan Davis, editor-in-chief of The Fabricator. “It’s an exciting transformational story that every manufacturing company should find interesting. We are very excited to honor Ludlow Manufacturing for their efforts.”
The Fabricator‘s Industry Award is given to a company in the metal forming and fabricating industry that has successfully improved operations, attained business growth, and contributed to both the local and industrial communities.
Representatives from Ludlow Manufacturing will be honored at the Fabricators and Manufacturers Association’s Annual Meeting in Clearwater Beach, Fla., on Feb. 27. The company will appear in a cover story in the February 2024 edition of The Fabricator.
