    Excellence Awards — Bridgestone Americas, Oxford, N.C.; Michelin North America, Dothan, Ala.; Greenville and Lexington, S.C.; and Asheboro, N.C. (Oliver tread rubber plant).

    Improvement Awards — 

    • Bridgestone Americas, Bloomington, Ill., LaVergne, Tenn., Wilson, N.C., Abilene, Texas, and Griffin, Ga.;
    • Michelin North America, Tuscaloosa, Ala., Ardmore, Okla., and Greenville, S.C.;
