JIS (Jergens Industrial Supply) of Cleveland was named winner of the American Eagle Excellence in Industry Award for 2014.

Working in conjunction with the rep firm Browne & Company, Chardon, Ohio, and carbide cutting tools manufacturer Fullerton Tool Company of Saginaw, Mich., JIS helped Slabe Machine reduce machine time, extend tool life and lower total tooling cost.
