NORWICH - Commerce Chenango held its Manufacturer Appreciation Event on Thursday night, and bestowed its ‘Manufacturer of the Year’ award to Chobani for the business’s continued support of the Chenango County Community and for its humanitarian efforts around the world.
The event was held at the Northeast Classic Car Museum in the City of Norwich, and sponsored by Steel Sales, Inc., along with Raymond Corporation, NBT Insurance Agency, and NBT Bank.
According to Commerce Chenango President and CEO Sal Testani, the decision to honor Chobani was mainly inspired by the company’s success and valued presence as a business neighbor in the Chenango County area, region, and the world.
“Chobani helps drive our economy, creating diverse career options, supporting our community events, pushing innovation in their field, and most importantly, choosing to call Chenango County home,” he added.
Chobani Senior Director of Manufacturing Bill Cooper represented the company at the event, and accepted the award on behalf of all Chobani employees.
“When Hamdi started our company in 2005, part of his vision was to build a business that put people at the center and looking back at it today, I’d say that’s exactly what he’s built,” said Cooper. “We are a values-driven, people first company that is committed to making a positive impact in the communities in which we operate.”
“Just last week we held an initiative in the plant where teams got together and produced 4,000 meals for those in need in the area.”
Cooper said Chobani is so proud to have made an impact on the Chenango County community over the last 15 years, and they look forward to continuing to support the community through economic development, employment, innovation, and more.
Cooper added that receiving the award wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work and dedication of all of the Chobani employees.
“What’s really important to me and the rest of our leadership team is that we recognize our employees for their contributions to what we’re doing down there,” he said. “To have our body of employees really get behind us and embrace it with us is such a magical and remarkable thing - I’m just so honored to be a part of it.”
Steel Sales General Manager Joshu Newman also spoke at the event, and congratulated Chobani for receiving the ‘Manufacturer of the Year’ award.
“We would like to thank Hamdi for bringing Chobani to our area and supporting our community as well,” said Newman. “Together we all contribute to making this area thrive and provide an enjoyable place to raise our families.”
