York Label named supplier of the year by Tyson Foods

On April 22, 2010, York Label was named Tyson Food’s Supplier of the Year for the direct materials category. The awards were presented at a lunch at Tyson’s headquarters attended by president and CEO Donnie Smith, chief operating officer Jim Lochner and group vice president Hal Carper.  

The recognition was based on continuous improvement contributions, performance surveys from Tyson locations, order fill rate and customer satisfaction performance, sales and technical support, ease of doing business and diversity support efforts.   

‘We value the relationships we have with all of our strategic suppliers and are especially proud of this year’s award winners,’ said Carper. ‘These are suppliers that actively seek innovation and ways to promote efficiency. Their support helps us in our efforts to provide consistently superior protein products and services to our customers.’  

‘We are honored and very appreciative to have been selected as Tyson’s Supplier of the Year for the direct materials category. We value our long standing relationship with Tyson and work hard to ensure we deliver the very best value, service and innovation,’ said Dave Klotter, York Label’s vice president of sales and marketing.
