Plunkett, who joined Herbalife in 1998, received the “Visionary
Leadership” award for his leading role in helping Herbalife
develop, implement, and manage a strategy of self-manufacturing at
Herbalife.
As a result of investing more than $250 million during the past
six years, the company now self-manufactures nearly 70 percent of
all its nutrition products. As part of that investment, Herbalife
commenced production of its $130 million, 800,000 square foot
Herbalife Innovation and Manufacturing facility in 2015 in
Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The facility includes a research and
development laboratory. In Lake Forest, California, Herbalife
maintains a 133,00 square foot Innovation and Manufacturing
facility, which includes a quality control laboratory. Both
facilities are certified by NSF International and comply with
current Good Manufacturing Practices, and the quality laboratories
at both facilities are ISO17025 certified and accredited.
“I am honored, on behalf of the Herbalife manufacturing and
engineering team, to receive this prestigious industry award,”
said Joseph Plunkett, P.E., senior vice president of
worldwide manufacturing and engineering, Herbalife. “At Herbalife,
we pride ourselves in making the necessary investments to create a
competitive advantage in the manufacturing of regulated nutrition
products such as dietary supplements, foods and acidified
foods.”
Now in its 12th year, the ML Awards honor organizations and
individuals that are shaping the future of global manufacturing.
Nominations are entered into 13 categories, evaluated and scored by
a panel of expert judges. Twelve of the ML Awards categories are
for outstanding projects by a manufacturing company.
“Winners of the 2016 ML Awards have proven that they are at the
forefront of a global, technology-driven transformation that we
call Manufacturing 4.0,” said Global Vice President and Editorial
Director of the Manufacturing Leadership Council David R. Brousell.
“By relentlessly improving and digitizing every corner of their
operations, these outstanding leaders are not only delivering
greater value to customers, they are redefining excellence in the
manufacturing industry. We congratulate them.”
The 73 organizations on the list of ML Award winners include
small and large enterprises representing a wide range of
manufacturing markets. They all leverage best-in-class processes,
technologies and engage teams to distinguish themselves from their
competitors.

About The Manufacturing Leadership Awards
The Manufacturing Leadership Awards, now in their 12th year,
honor manufacturing companies and individual manufacturing leaders
that are shaping the future of global manufacturing. Winning
projects and individual manufacturing leaders have demonstrated
achievement in one of a wide range of categories, and are chosen by
a panel of expert judges for results that enabled the manufacturers
to set themselves apart from their competitors and that have
delivered clear and compelling value, return on investment, and
other tangible outcomes. There are several winners in each
category.
In addition to selecting winners in each awards category, the
judges select one High Achiever in each category, as well as a 2016
Manufacturer of the Year for small and large enterprises.
Manufacturer of the Year, along with the top-scoring project in
each category, will be announced at the 12th Annual Manufacturing
Leadership Awards Gala on June 8, 2016, during the Manufacturing
Leadership Summit, taking place June 6-9, 2016 at the Omni la Costa
Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, CA.
The theme for the 12th Annual Manufacturing Leadership Summit is
“Manufacturing 4.0: The New Rules of Leadership.” The event enables
senior-level executives in all aspects of manufacturing an
opportunity to network with and learn from the best minds in the
industry. The format consists of roundtables, networking events,
and unique question-and-answer sessions designed to provide the
tools and ideas necessary to solve today’s manufacturing challenges
and to explore revolutionary new opportunities.
