AM Award Returned To ProminenceOne of the industrys most prestigious icons of distinction at the time, the AM Award was presented annually by the editors of American Machinist magazine for distinguished contribution to manufacturing. In 1985, it was awarded to Don Oberg for his pioneer work in making carbide a die material and for an entrepreneurial spirit, demanding adherence to standards, and dedication to training that combined to build an industry. Over the years, the award had taken residence in a closet as offices shuffled and the Freeport facility expanded. When it was rediscovered recently, we felt it deserved to be refurbished and prominently shown-off in the display case in our Freeport reception area.
