The heart and soul of KIPT is our associates, who are committed to producing the highest quality products and delivering them on time. To this end, we encourage our associates to get involved in programs to improve our products and processes. • Plant Improvement Program (PIP) • Associates Committed To Excellence (ACE) We encourage KIPT associates to get involved in the community and we support their involvement in community activities. We are also proud that our associates have volunteered many hours to such worthy causes. • United Way • The March of Dimes • The American Cancer Society Because of our concern for our KIPT family and our community, we have established emergency services which include a fully equipped on-site fire brigade. The brigade is staffed by production associates who have been fully trained and certified in fire fighting.
