The Michigan Manufacturing Association (MMA) has selected the Trijicon ACOG as the recipient of its 2024 Coolest Thing Made in Michigan Award. The legendary optic was selected from more than 30 nominated products through two rounds of consumer voting, and a final selection by the MMA Excellence Awards committee.
“From the home of Trijicon founder Glyn Bindon to the front lines of America’s greatest fighting forces, the Trijicon ACOG has grown to become the most durable, battle-proven, combat optic ever designed,” said John Trull, Trijicon vice president of sales & marketing. “We would like to thank our employees for their dedication and focus on quality, our president, Stephen Bindon, for providing all Trijicon employees with an outstanding place to work, and thank you to the Michigan Manufacturing Association for the opportunity to highlight our company and how important manufacturing is to Michigan.”
The Manufacturing Excellence Awards is an annual statewide celebration of the exceptional contributions that Michigan manufacturers make to their workforce, their communities, the economy and the industry. The program promotes the inspiring stories of the state’s manufacturing industry, the thousands of unique manufacturing companies across the state, the hundreds of thousands of Michiganders employed in the industry and the local communities that support it.
“For more than a century, Michiganders have been making cool and innovative products that have had an incredible impact on our state and country,” said Michigan Manufacturers Association President & CEO John J. Walsh. “Trijicon’s Advanced Combat Optical Gunsights (ACOGs) are an exceptionally deserving product to receive the coveted title of Coolest Thing Made in Michigan. These Made-in-Michigan precision aiming solutions disrupted the industry with a product that increases the effectiveness and safety of our warfighters and first responders. My heartiest congratulations to the entire Trijicon team.”
