The Kroger Company's manufacturing vision is dependent on and rooted in our employees. It is only with dedicated and capable employees that we are able to achieve success and superior quality standard.

Our vision of uncompromising quality dates back to 1883 and has become a foundation on which we base our business. Through individual commitment to quality and team efforts, we have established The Kroger Company as a leader in the manufacturing industry.

Safety is of the highest priority - "No Work Is Worth Getting Hurt Over." All our employees are responsible to themselves, their families and co-workers to perform their duties in a safe manner.

Our manufacturing facilities strive for total quality and we encourage our associates to become involved in our "total" business.

Manufacturing employees work as a team to refine, improve and update all segments of our process throughout the organization. Team members have adopted a "Do It Right The First Time" attitude and work together to achieve reduced waste, increased sales and improved operational performance.

Our manufacturing vision for the future includes continuing the quest for innovation. With state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, we face the 21st century as leaders in our industries. Innovative "entrepreneurial" thinking is a key to our future success.

We are recognized and respected in our industry for high standards and participate actively in numerous industry associations across the country. We are also very active in the communities in which we serve. We are pleased to honor successful endeavors with the B. H. Kroger Award each year. Building houses for Habitat for Humanity or volunteering, as Big Brothers/Big Sisters are examples of the ways our employees give back to their communities.
