Meyers, a Minnesota-based company that provides retail brand packaging, product labeling, and retail merchandising in-store displays for global brands, has received the Hormel Foods 2020 Spirit of Excellence Award. The honor recognizes suppliers whose work with Hormel helps the company achieve its key results.

“We were pleased to recognize Meyers’ exceptional work with the 2020 Spirit of Excellence Award,” says Valerie Miller Villafane, head of procurement at Hormel Foods. “Our enduring partnership with Meyers is a testament to their service, attention to detail, and quality products. We look forward to continuing our partnership together to help deliver inspired foods worldwide and achieve key operational results.” The award was presented to the company in fall 2021. “For over 20 years now, Meyers has received this award every year Hormel has given it out,” said Chris Dillon, CEO, Meyers. “That’s the result of hard work from so many different people on teams working across departments and disciplines. We’re really proud to know our consistent commitment to collaboration, excellence and possibilities continues to shine through to our clients.”

The Spirit of Excellence Award is presented to suppliers who demonstrated exceptional quality, on-time delivery, and customer service and support through the previous year, and have maintained a score of at least 92 on Hormel’s supplier rating index over a 12-month period. The index score is determined by a universal measurement system that began in 1990 to ensure each supplier is held to the same standards. In 2020, 30 suppliers were recognized for their work.
