Control Cable Wins Northrop Grumman Award

Baltimore-based Control Cable, Inc. – a leading manufacturer and distributor of custom voice and data infrastructure solutions for the government, military, and commercial sectors – is the recipient of a Northrop Grumman Corporation’s (NYSE: NOC) 2014 World Class Team Supplier Award.

The Team Supplier Awards are presented annually by Northrop Grumman to small business suppliers which consistently demonstrate outstanding achievements and support for the company’s Global Supplier Diversity Programs (GSDP). GSDP ensures that capable small businesses receive the maximum practicable subcontracting opportunities on all major programs.

Northrop Grumman’s extensive review of more than 9,500 suppliers began last summer. Ultimately, awards were presented to 24 companies which demonstrated exceptional support and commitment to the GSDP goals and objectives, using criteria such as product, service, quality, and record. Other considerations included demonstrated delivery performance, outstanding program support, superior technical achievement, reported cost performance/competitiveness, and continuous process improvement.

“As a veteran-owned small business, Control Cable is extremely honored to be recognized for demonstrating exceptional support for those diversity initiatives,” says company President Richard Meltzer. “Northrop’s long-standing commitment to diversity in its supplier base is renowned within the industry. The World Class Team Supplier Award is a tribute to our entire team and to the values which have characterized our company since it was founded in 1975.”

Headquartered in Baltimore, Control Cable manufactures and distributes standard and custom cable assemblies, wire harnesses, fiber optic produces, network infrastructure and wire management products, and bulk cable.
