The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) in September recognized recipients of the 2012 Marine Industry Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) Awards for the award period from April 2011 through March 2012.


Forty-one boat and engine manufacturers were recognized for excellence in customer satisfaction as part of the NMMA’s CSI program, including 28 that build their products in the Heartland.


The recipients were acknowledged in October at the 2012 International BoatBuilders’ Exhibition & Conference (IBEX) in Louisville, Ky.


“It is an honor to recognize these manufacturers for their outstanding focus on the creation of quality products and an enjoyable customer experience,” NMMA director of CSI programs Terry Leitz said. “Recipients of the CSI Awards are leading the recreational boating industry forward by ensuring feedback from their customers is an integral part of their planning and manufacturing functions.”
