The USLBA "Best of Local Business" Award Program recognizes outstanding local businesses throughout the country. Each year, the USLBA identifies companies that they believe have achieved exceptional marketing success in their local community and business category. These are local companies that enhance the positive image of small business through service to their customers and community.

Various sources of information were gathered and analyzed to choose the winners in each category. The 2008 USLBA Award Program focused on quality, not quantity. Winners are determined based on the information gathered both internally by the USLBA and data provided by third parties.

"We are thrilled to be honored with such a great award from the USLBA," said Enpro's marketing director, Chris Weinhardt. "It is nice to be recognized as a company leading the way in terms of marketing strategy, ethics, and giving back to the community".
