Think Patented has been honored as the 2012 Maxwell Award Winner.  The Maxwell Award is presented annually by the Southern Region Printing Week Council to a graphic arts organization that has distinguished itself in the manner of Cincinnati’s first printer, William Maxwell.  The organization that is honored should be forward thinking, a market leader, and recognizable for its contributions to the industry.  Additionally, the organization must be actively involved in community endeavors that enhance people’s lives.  This year marks the 25 anniversary for the Maxwell award.

“We could not be more proud to be this year’s Maxwell Award recipient, said Ken McNerney, CEO & Managing Partner for Think Patented.  “This award acknowledges the hard work and passion all of our employees have for the business. Even more satisfying is the time that many of our employees volunteer to make the community a better place.”

Niels Winther, Chairman and Managing Partner added, “We feel specially honored this year, as Think Patented is the first company located outside the Greater Cincinnati area to win this award.”

“I cannot think of a company more deserving or appropriate to receive the William Maxwell Award on its Silver Anniversary than Think Patented.  In every way they not only meet, but exceed the criteria for the award. Think Patented's inclusion on the list of recipients is both noteworthy and enhancing,” noted John Jaymont, Chairman, Southern Region Printing Week Council.
