Congressman Sam Johnson presented the award Friday (March 24) to Charles Garrett, founder and president of the company, at ceremonies in the Company's headquarters and plant in Garland. Garrett Metal Detectors received the award for its excellence in manufacturing operations, according to Deborreh Wallace, customer, government and industry relations manager of TMAC. In recent months Garrett has satisfied strong demand for its security equipment from the Winter Olympic Games in Italy to major airports and other security installations. At the same time Garrett has produced consistently increasing numbers of hobby detectors used for finding coins, jewelry and other treasures. TMAC was organized to focus on the needs of small to mid-size manufacturers and to help them satisfy these needs. TMAC's goal is to strengthen small companies and local economies over the state by helping them implement sound manufacturing strategies that would ordinarily be available only to larger companies. In accepting the award Mr. Garrett noted that it was timely and appropriate because the company is now beginning a major expansion that will double the size of its facilities and manufacturing operations in Garland.
