AlliedSignal Receives Chesterfield’s Large Business Award
Chesterfield County has recognized AlliedSignal as the recipient of the Large Business of 1998 award. Each business quarter, the Chesterfield Economic Development Department, in association with several other organizations, selects honorees from several different categories that include small, medium business of the year and developer of the year. At the December 16th board meeting, AlliedSignal was recognized based on the award criteria of economic vitality, commitment to quality and community involvement.
AlliedSignal has a fiber production plant on Bermuda Hundred Road and a Technical Center located off the Walthall exit of I-95. AlliedSignal employs nearly 4,000 workers, of which 2,200 come from Chesterfield, with a payroll of $164 million.
In the arena of community involvement Allied has recently pledged $190,000 to the United Way campaign, donated land for the Bensley-Bermuda Emergency Rescue Squad to build its new facility and most recently took part in the Angel Tree program.
AlliedSignal uses the Six Sigma system as a method of making improvements to the manufacturing process and eliminating defects in the final product.
