EVAL Team Honored with Four Awards from TCC and TCA 2026
At Kuraray America, Inc., safety is the cornerstone of everything we do. Across the organization, teams work every day to protect one another, support safe and reliable operations, and strengthen a culture where safety is a shared responsibility.
The EVAL team is proud to continue shaping that legacy through its ongoing commitment to KuraSafe, operational excellence, and responsible manufacturing. This commitment was recently recognized during the 38th Annual Industry Awards Banquet, hosted by the Texas Chemistry Council (TCC) and the Texas Chemistry Alliance (TCA).
During the event, the EVAL site was honored to receive four awards: Zero Incident, Caring for Texas, Distinguished Service, and the Dr. Mannan Award for Zero Process Safety Incidents.
These recognitions reflect more than strong safety performance. They represent the people behind the work and the care, accountability, and teamwork demonstrated every day across the EVAL site. From operations and maintenance to engineering, safety, leadership, and support teams, this achievement highlights the collective effort required to maintain a safe, reliable, and responsible workplace.
The Dr. Mannan Award for Zero Process Safety Incidents is especially meaningful because it recognizes organizations that demonstrate exceptional performance in process safety. Receiving this award underscores EVAL’s continued focus on hazard awareness, disciplined execution, proactive communication, and continuous improvement.
At EVAL, living KuraSafe means looking out for one another, speaking up when something needs attention, and making safety part of every decision. It means building daily habits that help protect employees, contractors, neighboring communities, and the environment.
Kuraray America congratulates the entire EVAL team on this achievement and extends appreciation to every employee whose dedication helped make this recognition possible. The company also thanks the Texas Chemistry Council and Texas Chemistry Alliance for hosting a meaningful celebration of safety, service, and industry excellence.
Congratulations as well to all nominees and award recipients honored during this year’s Industry Awards Banquet.
As Kuraray continues celebrating its 100th anniversary, this recognition serves as a reminder of the values that continue to guide the company’s future. Through KuraSafe, teamwork, and continuous improvement, Kuraray remains committed to advancing a strong safety culture across all of its manufacturing facilities.
