“What a tremendous honor for all the Employee-Owners of Pelican Wire to receive such a prestigious statewide award from the MAF and the panel of judges, who are also peers in the manufacturing space,” said Pelican Wire President Ted Bill. “We take great pride in representing our home community of Southwest Florida at the State level.”
This is the second time Pelican Wire has won the ‘Manufacturer of the Year’ award, having also won in 2014. “The application process is very thorough, and our judge’s criteria touches almost every aspect of a business, including company culture, measurable growth & responsible resource management, to name a few. To win this award is truly a distinction of excellence. Pelican Wire has won twice in five years, a feat accomplished by less than a handful of companies across the State of Florida,” said MAF Executive Director, Amanda Bowen.
