This year, the Award was presented to Finch Manufacturing & Technology, LLC (Finch), a service-disabled veteran owned small business located in West Pittston, Pennsylvania. Finch designs and fabricates large equipment, components and systems with expertise in the rotary processing equipment sector, such as large industrial kilns and dryer utilities in the cement, lime, silica, and recycling industries. Finch can fabricate parts ranging from inches to feet and pounds to tons.
Finch is the lead subcontractor on a three-year contract worth $1.5 million at Picatinny Arsenal. The project is the construction of a fragmentation chamber (four feet of concrete covering interlocking steel rebar). Finch created the 3D drawings; fabricated all steel components to include seven steel camera ports; and managed the steel floors, walls, doors, lock down bolts, and all other steel parts. Finch worked directly with government engineers and the project’s prime contractor to assist in all design aspects of the project.
Finch also received funding from the NEPA Alliance, through its Office of Economic Development Program, to obtain ISO 9001:2015 Certification. This certification elevates a company into a select group of organizations worldwide but can, and most-often does, cause a company to experience improved processes and better results from its operations by going through the ISO implementation process. It can also open the door to new markets and sales opportunities outside the Department of Defense.

The NEPA Alliance PTAC is funded in part through a cooperative agreement with the Defense Logistics Agency, Appalachian Regional Commission, and the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development.
