GLOUCESTER, Mass.—At the association’s recent Annual Meeting held in Scottsdale, Arizona, TLMI (Tag and Label Manufacturers Institute) presented Supplier of the Year honors to Pat Hague, ink industry executive, and Environmental Leadership Awards to Pasadena, Calif.-based Avery Dennison and Rochester, N.Y.-based Label World.
The Supplier of the Year Award honors and recognizes an individual for his or her ongoing volunteer service and dedication to TLMI, and to the greater industry. Criteria for winning the award includes service to TLMI on the association’s board and committees, in addition to continuous commitment to the industry as a whole by helping to promote and foster its growth.
Hague has been one of the most influential forces in the North American narrow-web ink industry. He began his career with Wikoff Color Corporation and later joined Water Ink Technologies in 1985. In 2009, along with his brother, he sold Water Ink to ALTANA and his most recent position prior to his retirement was vice president of sales for ACTEGA WIT.
Hague has been a longstanding member of TLMI and has served on the association’s Board of Directors. Prior to receiving the Supplier of the Year award, Hague was awarded honoree member status, one of the association’s highest honors.
Frank Sablone, TLMI president, commented, “Pat Hague has been one of TLMI’s most dedicated and influential supplier members. Over the decades, he brought his vast industry experience and professional network to his work with TLMI, and he was a dedicated Board member. I speak for myself and all TLMI members in congratulating Pat for achieving this honor, and in thanking him for his years of dedication to our association.”
The Environmental Leadership Awards recognize TLMI member companies that have consistently demonstrated a commitment to progressive environmental practices across a wide range of areas. Calvin Frost, CEO of Channeled Resources Group and TLMI Environmental Committee Chair, commented, “This is our ninth year in presenting these awards and recognizing leaders of environmental awareness in our industry. Without a doubt, this activity further reinforces TLMI’s position on sustainability. We will continue to change the culture of our industry, and this year’s winners should be honored. Thirteen companies submitted entries and from this group just two were chosen.”
