TLMI (Tag & Label Manufacturers Institute) announced the recipients of the 2025 Eugene Singer Excellence in Business Management Awards during this year’s TLMI Converter Leadership Meeting, held in Clearwater, Florida. The Eugene Singer Award recognizes outstanding operational and financial excellence as measured through the TLMI Management Ratio Study.
Presented annually, the Eugene Singer Awards recognize converter member companies demonstrating superior performance across a comprehensive set of growth and profitability metrics. Winners are selected by company size category, based on confidential benchmarking data managed independently by Industry Insights, allowing participants to compare their performance against peer organizations across the industry.
The Management Ratio Study evaluates 11 key performance factors, offering a well‑rounded assessment of a company’s overall financial health. Achieving a Eugene Singer Award requires consistent, above‑average results across the majority of these metrics—reflecting operational excellence, long‑term sustainability, and effective leadership.
The awards are named in honor of Eugene Singer, who pioneered the benchmarking management ratios that continue to serve as a foundational tool for performance evaluation within the converter industry.
