Cargill corn milling scoops presidential honor
Congress established the Baldrige award program, named after the late US commerce secretary, in 1987 to recognize US companies for achievements in quality and business performance.
Applicants for the award are evaluated for leadership, strategic planning, customer and market focus, measurement, analysis and knowledge management, workforce focus, process management and business results.
Alan Willits, president of Cargill Corn Milling which consists of seven wet milling and two dry milling facilities in the US, said: “More than 2,400 employees across nine plants, 11 distribution terminals and various other locations played a role in earning this award.”
Cargill’s egg processing business, now known as Cargill Kitchen Solutions, received the award, in 1999 and 2005.
