Thiele Receives Three Safety Awards at Georgia Mining Association Conference

Thiele Kaolin Co., Sandersville, Ga., USA, was presented three safety awards at the 2013 Georgia Mining Association conference. All three of the awards were granted on a basis of length of work completed without a lost time accident. The Avant-Ennis Mine and mill was recognized for having worked 12 years and 2 months, Hobbs Clay Mine for having worked 4 years and 10 months, and Reedy Creek Division Plant for having worked 4 years and 4 months accident free.

Thiele notes that these awards are a "testament" to the company's safety oriented culture, "made possible by the focused employees and management personnel that strive to maintain an injury free workplace."
