As we gather around our tables this Thanksgiving, we’re reminded that this season is about more than turkey and trimmings. It’s a time to reflect on the year, express gratitude for our partnerships, and recognize the hard work that keeps our communities and workplaces safe, productive, and vibrant.

At Intertek Alchemy, Thanksgiving also serves as an opportunity to celebrate the incredible people and businesses that make it possible to do what we love. From our dedicated clients to the hard-working frontline employees we support, we’re filled with gratitude for every individual who contributes to a safe, efficient, and thriving supply chain.

Giving Thanks to Our Clients and Partners

Our clients are the backbone of our success. With every new partnership, we’re able to contribute to meaningful progress in workforce manufacturing training, safety, and employee empowerment. Whether its longtime partners celebrating a decade of collaboration or new clients like Mary’s Gone Crackers, Giordano’s, and Cedar’s, each relationship fuels our commitment to helping businesses reach their goals.

First, we’d like to acknowledge the trust our clients place in us and thank each one for the opportunity to support their journey. Our clients inspire us to continue innovating and expanding our training solutions. Thanksgiving is especially significant to us given how much our clients are involved in the process. Hundreds of our food clients are featured in Thanksgiving celebrations around the country such as Cargill, Perdue, Campbell’s, Hormel, McCormick, Pepperidge Farm, Idahoan Foods, Ocean Spray, Ardent Mills, and many more. They are keeping our families fed and happy this holiday season. 

We may take for granted that the bountiful meal we’ll eat is safe to consume, but it’s the tireless dedication to food safety at tens of thousands of food manufacturing and distribution facilities that make it happen. You also play a significant role in food safety when preparing your own Thanksgiving meal, for instance handling the turkey correctly to prevent the spread of germs and avoiding food-borne illnesses. Knowing how to properly care for your food can make all the difference.

Celebrating the Frontline Workforce: The True Heroes

No Thanksgiving reflection would be complete without acknowledging the incredible individuals on the manufacturing frontlines. To put it into perspective, 40% of Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup sales occur around Thanksgiving, 80 million pounds of cranberries are purchased, and 40 million turkeys are eaten in the U.S. according to recent Thanksgiving data. These team members are at the heart of every successful business, working diligently to produce safe, quality products, often around the clock during busy holiday seasons.

We’re committed to supporting these employees through training programs that not only equip them with necessary skills but also empower them to take ownership of safety, quality, and productivity in their roles. It’s an honor to be a part of their journey, and we are grateful for the opportunity to help make their workplaces more fulfilling, safe, and rewarding.

Empowering a Safe and Happy Holiday Season

Thanksgiving is a time for connection, comfort, and reflection, and we’re dedicated to supporting the people who make these moments possible. It’s our passion to provide workforce training and development that ensures employees are equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed.

This Thanksgiving, we celebrate each milestone, partnership, and employee we’ve had the privilege of working with. As we continue to grow, we remain focused on building a safer, more productive future for our clients and the incredible people who drive their success.

From all of us at Intertek Alchemy, we wish you a safe, joyful, and gratitude-filled Thanksgiving!
