I’ d personally like to thank our advisory board for their time and valuable input.

The Manufacturing Supplier Innovation Awards US 2025 celebrate the people, solutions, and partnerships driving progress across the sector. From digital transformation and supply chain optimization to automation and cybersecurity, these awards recognize the trailblazers and market leaders reshaping American manufacturing.

The calibre of entries was outstanding, and their stories are inspirational. We’ re showcasing not just the biggest firms with the deepest pockets, but also innovation and ingenuity from smaller and mid-sized specialists.

The entrants’ commitment to excellence in critical areas, including cybersecurity, AI, PLM, and digital transformation, reinforces the strength and vitality of American manufacturing. These are the partners delivering the tools needed to secure domestic supply chains and drive global competitiveness.

It may be the first year of the Manufacturing Supplier Innovation Awards US, but it already feels like a natural progression for Manufacturing Today, as we continue to expand our mission to inform, champion, and connect the sector.

Furthermore, the independent Advisory Board, in collaboration with the editorial team, approached the program with a determination to find innovation with impact – not just in name.

No matter your connection to these awards, as a winner, a nominee, or an interested reader, I invite you to discover these remarkable stories and acknowledge what they embody: a dedication to excellence, the ability to overcome challenges, and a collective vision for the future of American manufacturing.

What an honor it has been to learn more about the exceptional companies supporting the growth and evolution of the US manufacturing sector.
