ROCHESTER, NY, June 5-Metrology equipment manufacturer Optical Gaging Products Inc. (OGP) has recognized its network of North American representatives with its annual performance awards for outstanding achievement. Taking top honors in two of the most prestigious award categories were:

• Representative of the Year: D. Beck Co. of Milford, CT and Providence, RI
• North American Sales Person of the Year: Ian Beck, of D. Beck Co.

The D. Beck Co. has represented OGP for 44 years in the New England states, and the company has taken top honors in four of the previous five years.

“For the D. Beck Company to excel in an area of the country reported in the news for its decline in its manufacturing base is commendable,” comments R. Stephen Flynn, president of OGP. “The D. Beck Co. does things right. It provides quality support and services throughout New England, and has earned a stellar reputation among our mutual customers. We congratulate the D. Beck Co. for earning this top OGP award in a banner year when so many of our representatives throughout North America performed extremely well, giving them stiff competition for the honor.”
