The award recognizes large and small companies for establishing and maintaining a security program that far exceeds the basic National Industrial Security Program requirements; and providing leadership to other cleared facilities in establishing best practices while maintaining the highest standards for security. Of the more than 13,000 cleared facilities, less than one percent are annually selected to receive this award.
To be considered for this award, Sauer Compressors USA was required to have a minimum of two consecutive superior industrial security review ratings, which shows a sustained degree of excellence and innovation in their overall security program management, implementation, and oversight. "We are honored to receive the Cogswell Award in recognition of our dedication and focus on security excellence. This is a clear reflection of Sauer’s commitment to providing the best possible service to our customers while always maintaining the highest security standards in the industry," said Don Eaton, Sauer Compressors USA’s President and Chief Executive Officer.
