Simmons Janesville plant wins award for third time

By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, March 18, 2007

Janesville, Wis. — Simmons presented its bedding manufacturing plant here with the 2006 Tony Saliture Award for Operational Excellence, making it the only plant to win the award three times.

The annual award recognizes a Simmons plant with superior performance in safety, quality, customer service, cost and productivity. It is the highest honor bestowed on a plant by Simmons.

"The Janesville plant is a shining example of what can be achieved when a team constantly strives to reach its highest potential," said Rob Burch, Simmons executive vice president of operations. "We commend all of the associates at the Janesville facility for raising the bar yet again and pushing themselves to continually improve their performance levels."

The award is named after the former manager of the Janesville plant, Tony Saliture, who opened the plant in 1980. Although he retired in 1998, he continues to be a fixture at the plant.
