Factory Five Wins AHA Good Manufacturing Award

Posted on May 18, 2012 by in What's New

Factory Five wins Association of Handbuilt Automobiles GMP Award for third year!

We’ve been attending the west coast’s largest handbuilt automotive show since 1996. The AHA (Association of Handbuilt Automobiles) hosts hundreds of customs at their annual show in Pomona, CA. In 2004, and again in 2010, Factory Five Racing was recognized for excellence in manufacturing, design, and custom service with the AHA’s GMP Award.

The year goes back to 1984 and we are the ONLY company to have won it three times.

The 2004 AHA GMP Award presented to Factory Five Racing.

Factory Five won the AHA GMP Award for a second time in 2010. Pro builder Langley K. and pro paint Jeff "Da Bat" Miller accepted the award in 2010.

If you visit us here at Factory Five, one of the things you'll notice is our HUGE wall of trophies and accomplishments that we are very proud of.
