Autoliv's facility in Promontory, Box Elder County, is one of 10 "lean" manufacturers selected to receive the 2006 Shingo Prize for Excellence in Manufacturing.
The plant provides more igniter material and gas generant for automotive applications annually than any other pyrotechnic facility in the world. This material is used in the manufacture of driver, passenger, side-impact and side-curtain air bags for the North American, European and Asian markets.
The Shingo Prize, administered by the Utah State University College of Business, is for manufacturers in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Recipients and four finalists will be honored during a ceremony April 6 in Covington, Ky.
