Dionex is among 25 businesses which qualified to receive the award from a pool of 58 companies worldwide. Dionex is also among only five companies which are 7-time recipients of the award.

"The NorthFace Scoreboard Award recognizes organizations who not only offer exemplary customer service, but who also center their existence on a deep commitment in exceeding customer expectations," said John Alexander Maraganis, president and CEO of Omega.
