KEEPING AMERICA ON TOP: WHOM YOU KNOW CELEBRATES AMERICAN STYLE INTELLIGENCE and EXCELLENCE WITH LENOVO. Lenovo Receives Prestigious Manufacturing Leadership Award Customer Value Leadership Award recognizes Lenovo’s achievements and pivotal role in U.S. Computer Manufacturing

June 6, 2014: Lenovo, the largest PC company in the world, received top honors last night at the 2014 Manufacturing Leadership Summit (MLS) during their Tenth Annual Manufacturing Leadership Awards gala in Palm Beach, Florida. A cornerstone event of the Summit, the gala presentation honors companies and individuals that are shaping the future of global manufacturing. Whom You Know is typed on a Lenovo ThinkPad that we absolutely love, and we love them even more when we hear what they are doing in American Manufacturing.

Lenovo took the spotlight with a Manufacturing Leadership Award win in Customer Value Leadership category, recognizing Lenovo’s role in pioneering the return of U.S. computer manufacturing – most notably through its U.S. Manufacturing and Fulfillment Center in Whitsett, North Carolina.

This particular award applauds new products and services provided to customers that enhance customer experience and build a closer relationship with them. The award recognition came nearly a year to the day from the official ribbon cutting of the Lenovo manufacturing site in Whitsett, North Carolina. The Whitsett manufacturing line helps maximize product delivery speed, enabling Lenovo to more efficiently and strategically address fast-moving customer requirements. The ability to customize and add valuable services to orders later in the purchase cycle is a significant benefit to U.S. customers.

Scott Gardner, vice president of Lenovo’s Americas Group Global Supply Chain, attended the gala and accepted the award on behalf of Lenovo.

“Lenovo is honored to be recognized for our leadership in bringing computer manufacturing back to the United States,” said Gardner. “It’s rewarding to watch our new U.S. manufacturing site in North Carolina, which opened over a year ago, provide great benefits to our customers in the North America region. On behalf of Lenovo, I thank the Manufacturing Leadership Council for this honor.”

The three-day Summit, themed "The Next Industrial Revolution: What Will Your Company Look Like in 2030?” brought together thought leaders and cross-functional leadership teams from all sectors of manufacturing to explore transformative new technological innovations.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
