Motoman Inc., an industrial robotics company headquartered in West Carrollton, OH, has been named “Manufacturing Business of the Year for 2007” in the sixth annual Business of the Year program sponsored by the Dayton Business Journal (DBJ) and Soin International.

Entries were judged on written responses regarding sales and earnings from local business units for the past five years, why 2007 was a noteworthy year for the business, the company’s strategic plan for the business for the next five years, community service projects or charitable contributions the company made, how the company formally measures customer satisfaction and loyalty, management’s relationship with employees, and other examples of leadership.

In the first half of 2007, robot industry growth was 29% in units and 11% in dollars, while Motoman reported that its growth far exceeded the industry’s numbers, based on record orders booked in the first half. According to the company, this performance is the result of Motoman’s strategic diversification among a wide range of industries and applications, as well as the company’s commitment to world-class quality and total customer satisfaction.

Customer satisfaction was another criteria for the award. In FY2006, Motoman received the highest customer satisfaction score in the company’s history on its annual Customer Satisfaction Survey: a 4.55 rating out of a 5.0 possible scale. Motoman Senior Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer Steve Barhorst, accepted the honors on the company’s behalf at an awards gala held November 29 at the Schuster Center in downtown Dayton, OH. Also representing Motoman were Doug Schenher, vice president – customer satisfaction group, Mike Gabbard, vice president - human resources and facilities, and Tom Bryant, senior director – standards and logistics group.
