Third straight year ARCA has taken home an ML 100 Award.
MEBANE, NC (March 5, 2015) — ARCA, a global leader in check, card and cash automation solutions, announced today that its founder and CEO Mort O’Sullivan has been honored with an ML 100 Visionary Leadership award by the Frost and Sullivan Manufacturing Leadership (ML) Council. This award recognizes leaders that have transformed their companies and made important contributions to their industries by challenging assumptions, achieving results and empowering others.
“It’s an honor to be recognized with this highly-respected award,” Mort O’Sullivan, ARCA’s founder and CEO, said. “This is an exciting time for ARCA as we are rapidly expanding our business globally. During this expansion, our employees are embracing change and I feel like they are the true visionaries leading our success.”
Under O’Sullivan’s leadership, ARCA has grown from a one-man operation to an organization employing over 450 people worldwide. Much of ARCA’s growth can be attributed to O’Sullivan’s emphasis on continuous improvement, development of a culture that embraces change and dedication to applying technologies that solve real-world problems.
“We are building a unique company, where respect and collaboration yield innovation, not only in our products, but also in our business practices and structure,” O’Sullivan said. “At ARCA we want every voice to be heard and valued and that’s where true visionary leadership is found.”
This is the second major honor O’Sullivan has received in the past year. In June, he was recognized as the EY Entrepreneur of the Year in the Southeast region of the United States.
ML Award winners and their technology partners will be honored on June 4, 2015, at a gala celebration that concludes the 11th annual Manufacturing Leadership Summit in Carlsbad, Calif. At the gala, winners of the ML High Achiever Awards, the ML Manufacturers of the Year and the Manufacturing Leader of the Year will also be announced.
