Wednesday, November 13, 2024 | Greenville, South Carolina – Last year, IPI implemented an exciting initiative to celebrate all our suppliers who help make our projects a success with a Supplier Awards Ceremony held during our annual IPIFest Weekend. So this year, we were thrilled to continue this annual tradition and announce the winners of our Second Annual Supplier Awards.
As IPI continues to grow and evolve, we remain committed to celebrating all our suppliers and highlight those that have gone above and beyond their responsibilities and played a vital role in the success of our projects this year. Our winners were honored in the categories of Remarkable Performance, Innovation, Safety Achievement, and Key Collaborator.
Our award winners received sculptures created by world-renowned Greenville artist, Yuri Tsuzuki with custom bases created by local artisan Matt Crowder of Jack Foster. The central theme of the sculptures “is progression – represented through a steel ladder sculpture. The design reflects evolution, upward mobility, and innovative problem-solving within the industrial realm.” Each award is unique and “highlights the importance of adaptability, growth and creative problem-solving which are all reflected in the ladders’ designs. The sculptures embody the journey from concept to execution, mirroring the complex project life cycle.”
Our 2024 Supplier Award Winners were PARIC, BZI, Ideal Contracting, and Hoffman & Hoffman.
PARIC received the Remarkable Performance Award for going above and beyond their written responsibilities to provide excellent results for our client, while also project goals and objectives.
BZI was presented the award for Innovation as a teammate that showed exceptional aptitude for innovation applied to tools, systems, and project execution. They bring a strong focus on innovative ideas to the construction industry when it comes to structural steel and decking.
Our Safety Achievement Award was presented to Ideal Contracting for having a safety culture that consistently produced exceptional results in following IPI’s philosophy of Safe. Clean. Organized.
Finally, Hoffman & Hoffman was presented the award for Key Collaborator, as a supplier who demonstrated mutual respect, integrity, and transparency during our partnership.
Congratulations to all our Supplier Award Winners and thank you for letting us celebrate you during IPIFest 2024!
