R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company was recognized by Hormel Foods Corporation with a 2018 Spirit of Excellence Award for its work on the company’s labeling throughout the year.

“We are grateful for the trust Hormel Foods Corporation has instilled in us to continually execute on their behalf through the years,” said Bruce Hanson, president, RRD Labels & Forms. “Being recognized with the Spirit of Excellence Award is an honor and a testament to how our teams collaborate with each of our clients to get the job done. We have and will continue to work seamlessly with Hormel Foods to ensure we are providing high-quality label products and solutions that enable their business units to function at peak performance.”

RRD has been working with Hormel Foods for more than two decades, producing more than 250 million labels each year that are used in the company’s storing and shipping process.

“Through our more than 20 years of working together, RRD has played a key role in helping us deliver inspired food to people around the world,” said Curtis Southard, director of purchasing, Hormel Foods.

The 2018 Spirit of Excellence Award recognizes suppliers who played a role in the company’s continuous improvement process throughout the last year. Suppliers touch various areas of the Hormel Foods business, including contractors, pork procurement provisions, ingredients, packaging and transportation, and maintained a minimum supplier rating index score of 92 throughout the 12-month period.

The score is determined by a universal measurement system that ensures each supplier is held to the same standards, such as making on-time deliveries and providing high-level customer support. This year, 71 suppliers were recognized for their work.

Hormel Foods is a global branded food company, which includes brands such as SKIPPY, SPAM, and Applegate.
