| Company officials from Imperial Sugar corporate
headquarters spent a day in Sidney last week visiting growers, looking at
beets and touring the factory. Jim Kempner, Imperial Sugar CEO; Duffy
Smith, Imperial Sugar Managing Director; Roger Hill, Holly Sugar CEO; Cal
Jones, vice president of Byproduct Sales; and Bob Strickland, vice
president of Beet Operations, arrived on Tuesday, Oct. 2, for the harvest
tour.
Duffy Smith, Managing Director of Imperial Sugar,
explains that management from the corporate office likes to get out,
support the growers and the factory crews, and see the new crop. The
action happens in the field, Smith remarks. We like to get around,
see the beets, the factory crews and the growers at harvest. This is where
we make the product and the money, so we are here to show our support.
He adds, The company, through its preplanned
bankruptcy, has hit its targets within the organization, so we are truly
restructured and ready to go.
