The awards, presented by Kevin Toman, CEO and president of Englander, Olive Branch, Miss., went to Englander Southeast, based in Rome, Ga., for the largest sales increase last year; and to Englander Midwest in Chicago for manufacturing excellence in 2013.
The awards were accepted by Dominic Azevedo, CEO and president of Englander Southeast; and Ed Ciolkosz, owner and president of Englander Midwest.
“We’re very proud of both of these operations and the teams of people at each location for what they achieved last year in their respective areas,” Toman said. “It was also especially meaningful to recognize these factories while celebrating our company’s 120th anniversary, marking one of the longest successful tenures in the bedding industry.”
Founded in 1894, Englander introduced in Las Vegas special Anniversary Edition models under several of its popular mattress brands and showed an historical video that traced the company’s development. A special Anniversary cake was also part of the showroom celebration.
