The Stowe Woodward division in Ruston of Xerium Technologies, Inc., a leading global provider of industrial consumable products and services, bagged the Northwest Louisiana 2015 Lantern Award.

The ceremony took place on Tuesday, June 16, 2015 at the Governors’ Mansion in Baton Rouge, LA.

Louisiana Economic Development selected the Ruston plant as their choice amongst a field of outstanding nominations, recognizing Xerium for excellence in manufacturing and outstanding service to the Ruston community, the company informs in a press release.

Harold Bevis, president and CEO of Xerium said, “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.”

“Xerium is committed to aligning its operational footprint and capabilities to win in the global markets. Achieving this goal requires 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,” he added.

Xerium Technologies, Inc. utilizes a broad portfolio of patented and proprietary technologies to provide customers with tailored solutions and products integral to production, all designed to optimize performance and reduce operational costs. Xerium has 26 manufacturing facilities in 12 countries, two new plants under construction in 2 countries and employs approximately 3,100 employees. (GK)
