ST. LOUIS, April 18, 2017 -- LMI Aerospace Inc. (Nasdaq:LMIA) has received a Boeing Excellence in Advocacy Award for 2016. The Boeing Company issues the award annually to recognize suppliers who have achieved superior performance in outreach activities to help government policymakers better understand aerospace issues and promote legislation that supports aerospace companies.

“The success of the aerospace industry is a collective endeavor,” said LMI Aerospace Chief Executive Officer Dan Korte. “When LMI leaders share our company’s story with key stakeholders, we are helping to raise awareness and shape policy in ways that enhance the industry as a whole.”
The influence of suppliers by engaging with policy makers can foster awareness that provides multiple benefits.
“Our supplier network is one of Boeing’s greatest competitive advantages when it comes to advocating for our shared interests,” said Kent Fisher, Boeing’s leader for enterprise Supplier Management. “Suppliers like LMI Aerospace represent a critical business voice to help decision makers understand the incredible impact that the aerospace industry has on their economies, employment and communities.”
