Two Minnesota campuses of Uponor earned Governor’s Workplace Safety Awards from the Minnesota Safety Council. The company’s Apple Valley campus won its sixth Achievement Award, recognized at the gold level, and the Uponor Lakeville Distribution Center won its seventh Achievement Award, also at the gold level, honoring occupational injury prevention throughout 2024.

“Keeping the people we work and live with safe is a full-time job,” said Paul Aasen, CEO of the Minnesota Safety Council. “Congratulations to Uponor for investing the time and energy to make work and life safer inside their organization and beyond.”

Uponor’s Integrated Supply Chain organization's collective safety efforts resulted in a reduction in the incident rate in 2024. Those efforts have now been applied to all areas of the company, with the launch of a corporatewide safety culture to emphasize safety measures and recognize employees for maintaining a safe work environment.

“From the manufacturing floor to the office and everything in between, safety is at the forefront of every project,” said Jon Sillerud, vice president, Integrated Supply Chain. “We are on a path of continuous improvement and reaching our goal of Mission Zero, or no lost-time accidents.”
