ATS Wins Three IAOP Awards, Ranking Among Top Global Outsourcing Firms

In its latest Global Outsourcing 100 ranking, the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals (IAOP) honored Peoria‑based Advanced Technology Services (ATS) with three top‑tier awards for the second consecutive year.

ATS was named a Top 25 Rising Star, one of the five best companies in the automotive category, and among the top 20 leaders in discrete manufacturing services.

“Our commitment to making factories run better reflects our core values and the strength of our customer partnerships,” said ATS President Jeffrey Owens.

Key differentiators that set ATS apart include a customer‑centric, continuous‑improvement culture, employee engagement, and a robust quality‑toolset that delivers measurable results—reducing production costs, sharpening manufacturing focus, and overcoming internal resource constraints.

“In today’s dynamic global economy, asset utilization, performance, and reliability are more critical than ever,” Owens added. “Whether markets expand or contract, ATS provides manufacturers with the flexibility to scale operations up or down swiftly in response to changing demand.”

The 2010 IAOP ranking evaluates applicants across 18 criteria, from revenue growth and customer references to workforce skill levels and management capabilities. A panel of independent industry experts conducts the scoring.

“The Global Outsourcing 100 is a highly prestigious award,” Owens said. “We are proud to be recognized internationally for the second consecutive year for our automotive and manufacturing services.”
