BOSTON – State Senator Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton) announced Henke Sass Wolf of America as his nominee for the Outstanding Leadership Skills in the Manufacturing Industry award. Each elected official in the Legislature had the opportunity to nominate one manufacturer in their district to receive this unique distinction. That manufacturer would receive the award for the district in which their business operates.

Senator Fattman represents the Worcester and Norfolk Senate district, which comprises fourteen towns: Bellingham, Blackstone, Douglas, Dudley, Hopedale, Mendon, Milford, Millville, Northbridge, precincts 1 and 3, Oxford, Southbridge, Sutton, Uxbridge, and Webster. 

Henke Sass operates in Dudley, which made them eligible for Senator Fattman’s nomination, but it was their exceptional leadership in the industry, providing high quality medical products across the world, that made them the clear choice to receive the award for the Worcester and Norfolk Senate district.

Awards were given to recipients at the 6th Annual Manufacturing Awards, hosted at the newly constructed Polar Park in Worcester. 

Legislators, manufacturers, and affiliated partners gathered to celebrate the successes of those in the industry.

“While there are many manufacturers in my district that would be deserving of this distinction, it was clear that Henke Sass Wolf of America was an outstanding choice for this award,” said Senator Fattman.

“Their attention to detail by providing high quality medical devices is a beacon to all those in the manufacturing industry. I am proud to have this company in my district, and I look forward to seeing many more years of their success in our region.”

“This day celebrated the diversity in manufacturing and the people who contribute to its success in Massachusetts. We are proud at Henke Sass Wolf of America of our production employees whose dedication and teamwork provided us the opportunity to be recognized by the Commonwealth,” said Henke Sass Wolf of America’s Human Resource Manager, Christine MacGrory.
