Titan America was well represented last week when seven of its ready-mix plants were among the winners of the 2012 NRMCA Excellence in Quality Awards.  Also honored was Hardy Johnson, Titan America’s Chief Governmental Affairs Officer, who was presented with the Grassroots Activist of the Year Award

Details of the Excellence in Quality Awards were summarized in a recent article published by NRMCA:
“The criteria for this award are established by NRMCA’s Research Engineering and Standards Committee to recognize the commitment to quality of NRMCA member companies. Companies applied either as a single entity or a division within a company and responded to a multiple-choice-type application form that generated their score; a minimum score of 75% with supporting validation qualified a company to receive an award. Winning producers have demonstrated that they follow and exceed quality management principles over a broad range of activities from commitment to quality, materials management, managing production facilities, product quality control and maintaining a high level of customer satisfaction.”
