Davenport-based American Power Systems (APS) has been named the Small Business Supplier of the Year by the Battelle company.
“The challenges have been tough, but APS has allowed us to deliver our product to our customers,” said Battelle Chief Financial Officer Chris Boynton. “We thank them for their contribution to our success. The response time and quality of products have been essential. Their power management systems help us bring our service members home safe.”
APS President and CEO Amy Lank and Senior Program Manager Phillip Potter traveled to Battelle’s Columbus, Ohio, headquarters recently to accept the award.
“APS is so honored by this recognition. Being a small business allows us to be flexible and nimble when customer needs like Battelle’s arise,” said Ms. Lank. “It is gratifying to know that we at American Power Systems are making a real difference, not just in Battelle’s ability to get the job done, but ultimately in keeping the military personnel they support safe in the field no matter where the mission takes them.”
