This year’s accolades reflect not just the company's achievements but its ongoing dedication to innovation and excellence in manufacturing. Sumitomo's success is supported by strategic advantages such as reduced average lead times, a substantial domestic inventory, and a dedicated team of engineers and manufacturers who are specialists in their fields. 

At the gala, Sara Zimmerman, Vice President of Business Development at Sumitomo Drive Technologies, shared her thoughts. “We are incredibly proud of our products, especially this year’s submission. I want to take this opportunity to thank our employees, customers and suppliers who voted for us.
