Cartersville Anheuser-Busch Facility Receives Safety Awards

From Anheuser-Busch: Anheuser-Busch today was recognized for its outstanding safety performance record with a proclamation presented by Cartersville Mayor Matt Santini and Bartow County Commissioner Steve Taylor.

Anheuser-Busch’s Cartersville brewery employees were joined by local officials at three town-hall gatherings during the brewery’s three shifts throughout the day to recognize their achievement in reaching two major safety milestones:

1. Experiencing four years of zero lost time due to injury; and
2. Completing one year of work without an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recordable incident.

“Anheuser-Busch is proud to call Georgia home and since first opening our doors 24 years ago in Cartersville, we have had an unrelenting focus on safety and quality,” said Kevin Fahrenkrog, general manager of Anheuser-Busch’s Cartersville brewery. “Reaching these two major safety milestones and being recognized by our hometown officials is an honor, and we are excited to celebrate our employees who made these significant achievements possible.”

“It is my great pleasure to help present a proclamation honoring Anheuser-Busch’s Cartersville brewery for their outstanding track record of safety,” said Mayor Santini. “Anheuser-Busch’s employees have always demonstrated their commitment to safety and quality, just as Anheuser-Busch has always demonstrated its commitment to this community – from creating jobs and contributing to the economy, to being involved in local causes and investing in sustainable practices. I am proud Anheuser-Busch calls Cartersville home and thank the employees today for their continued dedication to safety and community.”

“Anheuser-Busch has been a tremendous community partner that employs many Georgians here in Cartersville, and I am happy to join Mayor Santini today in honoring those employees who have taken safety seriously in order to reach these important milestones,” said Commissioner Taylor. “Brewing the world’s best beers doesn’t often bring to mind safety, but I know it has been at the heart of everything Anheuser-Busch and its employees do here in Cartersville, and I want thank them for keeping each other safe in the workplace.”

“I am thrilled to join Anheuser-Busch employees, Cartersville’s mayor and Bartow’s country commissioner today to celebrate the brewery’s employees meeting these major safety milestones,” said Cindy Williams, chief executive officer of the Cartersville-Bartow County Chamber of Commerce. “Anheuser-Busch has always been a good, responsible corporate neighbor and with the leadership at the brewery coupled with the dedication of the employees here, it is not surprising they have created a track record of success in safety. I look forward to celebrating many more achievements with the employees of Anheuser-Busch in Cartersville.”
