Brunswick Corporation : Harris Honored with 13th Consecutive NMMA CSI Award

Fort Wayne, IN., September 17, 2015: For the 13th consecutive year, Harris has been recognized by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) with the 2015 Marine Industry’s CSI Award. The CSI (Customer Satisfaction Index) Award recognizes marine manufacturers whose pursuit of continuous improvement earns them tremendous customer support.

Honored at the 2015 International BoatBuilders Exhibition and Conference in Louisville, Kentucky, Harris earned its award in the Pontoon Boat category.

“Our goal at Harris is to routinely exceed customer expectations because once our customers are on the water, they should only be focused on enjoying themselves,” said Harris president Nick Stickler. “Winning this award every year that we have participated is a testament to the hard work of Harris employees and our strong dealer network.”

The Marine Industry CSI Awards program honors participating manufacturers that actively measure customer satisfaction and pursue continuous improvement to better serve the customer. Award recipients achieved and maintained an independently-measured standard of excellence of 90 percent or higher in customer satisfaction over the past year, based on information provided by customers purchasing a new boat or engine during the period of April 1, 2014 through March 31, 2015. For this reporting period, the program surveyed nearly 60,000 consumers.
