2014 Most Improved TRIR Rate — Foundry Award
M&H Valve is awarded the Most Improved TRIR Rate — Foundry.

The Most Improved TRIR Rate is determined by calculating at year end, the TRIR rate for each of our foundries and looking at the percent improvement when compared to their previous year end TRIR. The facility with the greatest percentage of improvement from the previous year is given the award.
