Safety First: Tessenderlo Kerley Honored with BNSF Railway Product Stewardship Award
PHOENIX, Aug. 20, 2024 – From loading to delivery, transporting products in a safe and secure manner is vital to Tessenderlo Kerley's commitment to its customers and our core value of Safety.
BNSF Railway recognized this commitment by making Tessenderlo Kerley a recipient of the 2024 BNSF Railway's annual Product Stewardship Award, given to companies that have zero transportation accidents and follow the American Chemistry Council’s Responsible Care® initiative.
“We move a lot of chemicals, as well as our regular fertilizers, so we have to ensure that we are extremely safe at the loading point,” said Supply Chain Service Manager Frank Rocha. “Our teams have done an amazing job of ensuring that they have secured their railcars and that they're prepared for transit in the way we need to.”
Rocha said it takes a commitment from team members across the country to receive the honor from BNSF.
“Winning this award is important to not only Tessenderlo Kerley, but to our customers,” he said. “I would just love to thank everyone, not just from the Supply Chain team, but also our office managers, loaders and plant managers, because without them and their support, we couldn't receive awards such as these.”
