Cargill heaps honors on its salt businesses
Of the myriad businesses of the Cargill behemoth, the company has recognized as its top performing businesses Cargill Salt and Cargill Deicing Technology; they received the Cargill Business Excellence Award at the Cargill Leadership Forum and Recognition Conference recently held in Minneapolis.
In addition, Cargill's St. Clair, MI evap salt plant was named the "Best Plant" in the ~$70 billion corporate empire. As if that were not enough, Dr. Marty Aschauer, Cargill Salt's Director of Technical Services was honored with the Cargill Chairman's Leadership award.
Congratulations! Cargill's non-salt businesses probably viewed the awards with "shock and awe" and the trophy cases in Minnetonka, North Olmstead and St. Clair are bulging!!
The "Business Excellence Award" is presented to business units with outstanding demonstrated efforts in creating distinctive value through leadership, high performance, customer focus and innovation. There were a total of nine winners out of 79 business units. Cargil Salt and Cargill Deicing Technology were also winners of this award in 2004. No fluke here.
The "Best Plant" award is presented to the "top" plant demonstrating excellence in the areas of employee engagement, food safety, worker safety, customer satisfaction, product quality, process technologies and new product development.
Keep up the good work.
