Companies were honored by Somerset, N.J.-based NJBIZ earlier this month for their contribution to the success of the manufacturing industry's growth and stability, Strato says.
The company was one of five finalists, was selected based on criteria such as how the company differentiates from competitors, operations, innovation, continuous improvement, and leadership within the organization and industry.

It is a relentless pursuit of improvement in all aspects of personal, professional, industry, and community living. At Strato, leadership is not about being heroic, but it is about making a significant difference in the lives of those around you."
