PLANO, TX – NASCAR legend Rusty Wallace headlined Safety-Kleen Systems annual President’s Council awards event in Scottsdale, AZ, March 24 - 27.
The theme for the annual event was “Success: Defined,” and 55-time NASCAR race winner Wallace referenced his experiences and challenges in achieving success in the highly-competitive world of racing while honoring the 72 individuals in 21 categories from across the Safety-Kleen organization for their accomplishments in 2010.
"It was an honor once again to recognize Safety-Kleen’s very best," Zimmer said. "These individuals achieved remarkable results in each of their respective areas, and their collective success is a great testament to our organization."
More than 200 Safety-Kleen employees, executives and vendors attended the recognition and appreciation event, including title sponsors Afton Chemical, Demenno/Kerdoon and Ryder Transportation. Zimmer expressed Safety-Kleen’s appreciation for the support of its vendors and recognized their important contribution to the company’s overall success.
Five-time President’s Council winner Mike Thompson, of Brampton, Ontario, also thanked his customers.
“Qualifying for President’s Council for the fifth time is a huge honor,” Thompson said. “I collected a lot of used oil to get here, and I have a lot of great customers that I’m extremely grateful to for continuing their business with Safety-Kleen - I wouldn’t have made it here without them.”
