Xerium Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:XRM), a leading global provider
of industrial consumable products and services, was the Northwest
Louisiana recipient of the 2015 Lantern Award. The ceremony took
place on Tuesday, June 16, 2015 at the Governors’ Mansion in Baton
Rouge, LA.
Louisiana Economic Development selected Xerium’s Stowe Woodward
division in Ruston as their choice amongst a field of outstanding
nominations, recognizing Xerium for excellence in manufacturing and
outstanding service to the Ruston community.
“Xerium is committed to operational excellence in all of its
facilities – fair prices, great cost structures, outstanding
quality, and on-time delivery. We made a big decision two years ago
to make a large investment in the Ruston plant in order to further
its performance against these goals. The Ruston plant and team are
ideally located in the heart of one of the company’s most important
regional locations. We are extremely proud of our team in Ruston,
LA. We are thankful to be recognized as a top manufacturer in the
region. This is a well-deserved award for the Ruston team,” said
Mr. Harold Bevis, President and CEO of Xerium.
“Xerium is committed to aligning its operational footprint and
capabilities to win in the global markets. Achieving this goal
requires both investment in certain plants and, at the same time,
permanent closure of high-cost, suboptimal plants. Ruston is a
strategic plant for Xerium. We are committed to continuous
innovation in its manufacturing processes and delivering
ever-higher quality to its customers. There is a lot yet to
accomplish in Ruston to achieve our internal goals. But it is
special to pause and reflect how far we have come already, and
accept this award as a hard-earned recognition. Thank you to all
involved with selecting Xerium’s Ruston, Louisiana plant as an
outstanding manufacturing operation.”
