KPAC Earns Multiple Honors for Safety and Responsible Operations
The Kuraray Plantic and Compounding team, known as KPAC, is proud to continue contributing to that safety legacy. KPAC was recently recognized during the 38th Annual Industry Awards Banquet, hosted by the Texas Chemistry Council (TCC) and the Texas Chemistry Alliance (TCA).
During this year’s banquet, KPAC was honored to receive four awards:
🏆Zero Incident
🏆 Caring for Texas
🏆 Distinguished Service
🏆 Dr. Mannan Award for Zero Process Safety Incidents
This recognition marks another meaningful milestone for the KPAC team. After earning its first-ever TCC recognition in 2025, KPAC’s continued recognition reflects the progress that can be achieved when a team remains focused, disciplined, and committed to continuous improvement.
For KPAC, these awards represent more than safety performance. They reflect the people behind the work and the care shown every day across the site. At a facility where every person plays an important role, each decision, conversation, and action contributes to safe operations and helps strengthen the team’s safety culture.
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 honor underscores KPAC’s commitment to hazard awareness, reliable operations, proactive communication, and disciplined execution.
The Zero Incident, Caring for Texas, and Distinguished Service awards further highlight the team’s dedication to protecting employees, supporting responsible manufacturing, and contributing positively to the broader industry and community.
Kuraray America congratulates the entire KPAC team on this achievement and thanks every employee whose focus, ownership, and teamwork helped make this recognition possible. The company also extends its appreciation to 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, KPAC’s recognition serves as a reminder of the values that continue to shape the company’s future. Through KuraSafe, teamwork, operational excellence, and continuous improvement, Kuraray remains committed to advancing a strong safety culture across all of its manufacturing facilities.
