The Manufacturing Leadership Council (MLC), a division of the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), named Cooley Group as the Manufacturer of the Year. Additionally, Cooley received four separate Manufacturing 4.0 (M4.0) project awards at MLC's Annual Rethink Conference.
The annual MLC competition recognizes outstanding manufacturing companies for groundbreaking use of new technology, processes, and collaboration. MLC's recognition of Cooley is a direct reflection of Cooley’s success in transforming culturally and digitally into a highly collaborative, data-driven enterprise.
Over the past five years, Cooley’s transformation has also driven the Company’s unparalleled financial success with 10% year-on-year revenue growth and ten-fold increase in profit.
