Manufacturing, the trailer manufacturing and refurbishing
subsidiary of Con-way Inc. (NYSE: CNW), today announced that it has
been honored with the 2014 Plant Safety Award from the Truck
Trailer Manufacturers Association (TTMA).
The company also was a recipient of the award in 2004 and in
2010 through 2013, making this the fifth straight year, and sixth
time overall that Con-way Manufacturing has been accorded this
honor from TTMA. The company was recognized for the achievement at
the TTMA's 73rd Annual Convention in Cambridge, Maryland on April 30.
Under the TTMA Plant Safety program, award winners are selected
from member companies' yearlong occupational injury data, recorded

Administration's (OSHA) requirements. Con-way Manufacturing won in
the "C" category of the award, segmented for plants sized 350,000
man-hours and under.
Con-way Manufacturing attributes much of its success to its
emphasis on behavior-based safety strategies, which are designed to
deeply engage employees in effective safety practice. From
strategic planning and companywide, top-to-bottom training to data
analysis, problem solving, process maintenance and follow-up
audits, each and every employee is involved in a team effort to
improve workplace safety.
"Everyone at Con-way understands that a continuously improving
safety program is a critical component of our daily business," said
Lynn Reinbolt, president of Con-way
Manufacturing. "Receiving this award for the fifth consecutive year
speaks to the ongoing, collaborative efforts of our entire team
toward the continued growth of the culture of safety we've
established here."
This year marks the 44th presentation of the Truck Trailer
