Todd Treadaway Receives The 2019 Energizing Anson Award

AMI Machining, Inc. owner Todd Treadaway was named the 2019 Energizing Anson Award winner at the Anson County Industry Appreciation Breakfast held Friday, September 6th at Allen's Restaurant in Peachland, N.C. In 2018, Todd moved AMI from a small leased space in Polkton to a larger building which he built on a plot of land on US Highway 74 just west of downtown Peachland. In making the move, Treadaway more than doubled his manufacturing space to 18,000 square feet, retained the jobs of 17 Ansonians and created two new jobs along with an investment of more than $750,000.

In presenting the award to Treadaway, Duke Energy (who sponsors the award) representative Tammy Whaley noted that while the AMI expansion may not have been the largest in the county in terms of job creation or investment, that there was nothing "small" about the business, and lauded Treadaway for his continuing commitment to improving the Anson County economy.

Treadaway was the second Energizing Anson recipient, joining Hornwood, Inc. President Chuck Horne who won the inaugural award in 2018.

AnsonEDP Executive Director, John Marek, stating that, "trophies are great, but you can't eat them," also presented Treadaway with a gift certificate for Hog Wild Farms, a local craft pork products business run by 15-year-old entrepreneur Gracie Stinson, who was winner of the Best Business award at the Anson County Youth Expo last month. "There is a certain symmetry to gifting one of our most developed and successful industries products created by one of our newest entrepreneurs. I wouldn't be surprised if one day Gracie is standing up receiving this award herself." Marek went on to say that there were several very deserving candidates for this year's Energizing Anson award and that the final vote could have gone any one of three or four ways. "Having too many success stories is a good problem to have, but the idea behind our Industry Appreciation Breakfast is to recognize ALL of the companies that contribute so much to the Anson economy."
