- Published: March 19, 2015
GLOUCESTER, MA | The Tag & Label Mfrs. Institute (TLMI) announced the winners of this year’s Eugene Singer Awards for Management Excellence at the association’s recent Converter Meeting in Sea Island, GA. The award recognizes excellence in business management measured and defined by an established set of growth and profitability ratios through participation in the TLMI Management Ratio Study.
More than 100 narrow web converters throughout the US and Canada participate in the TLMI Ratio Study, and just four converting companies are awarded the honor each year. Following are the 2014 winners:
• Columbine Label Company, Centennial, CO, won in the small company category for the fourth time. Company president Greg Jackson says, “Winning this award 
again just doesn’t get old! Competing and coming out on top, given the level of the other companies involved, is difficult to even adequately describe. Needless to say, we’re excited and proud to have won the Singer award again. Achieving these results is largely due to having such a great group of employees at Columbine that really work hard to do a great job for our customers. And we have a great group of customers as well, that makes putting forth the extra effort easy and rewarding. I’m proud to be part of that, and I’m honored to accept this award on their behalf.”
• Digital Label Solutions, Yorba Linda, CA, won for the mid-range company 
category. This is the company’s second time winning the Eugene Singer Award, and company co-owner Sandy Petersen says, “We consider ourselves very lucky that TLMI membership includes management tools as thorough and valuable as the Ratio Study, and of course offering a platform like the Eugene Singer Award that acknowledges all of our hard work and dedication to our company. We wouldn’t be here without these tools, as well as great customers, vendors, and most of all, simply incredible employees who go above and beyond each and every day!.”
• The Label Printers, Aurora, IL won for the medium company category. This is 
the Label Printers’ sixth Eugene Singer Award. COO Lori Campbell says, “This award is a testimony to the dedication of our employees, the loyalty of our customers, and the support of our suppliers and we are grateful to them all.”
• Consolidated Label, Sanford, FL, won for the large company category. This is Consolidated Label’s 13th Eugene Singer Award. Says company president Joel Carmany, “Consolidated label is very excited about winning the 
Singer award again. Our employees work hard to achieve this honor and we thank them along with our loyal customers and vendors for making it possible.”
“The TLMI Ratio Study continues to be an invaluable resource and benchmarking tool for our converter members,” says TLMI President Frank Sablone. “More than 100 companies participated in last year’s Ratio Study, and such high participation rates continue to reinforce how beneficial our converter members consider the study to be. I want to congratulate each of this year’s Singer Award winners on a job well done, and I want to personally thank each and every converter that submitted their information.”
