Employee Recognition The  Alex G. McKenna Award of Excellence, Millennium Awards and  CEO’s Club were established to give appropriate recognition to outstanding achievement. We set high standards for ourselves so that our reach constantly exceeds our grasp – that we may attain greatness and success in all our endeavors. Named in honor of one of our founding partners, the  Alex G. McKenna Award of Excellence is specifically designed to recognize individuals who have made extraordinary contributions beyond  our everyday goals. The performance must have a significant impact on Kennametal’s business, our standing as a technological leader or our reputation and image. This year the award went to Mike Hudock and Ron Feely. The  Millennium Awards are closely aligned with Kennametal’s ambitions. They recognize individuals and teams who demonstrate outstanding achievement in eight operational categories that are clearly measurable. 1. Profitable Growth – Mining & Construction Division and Metalworking Asia Pacific, 2. Working Capital Improvement – Full Service Supply, 3. Cash Flow Growth – Mining & Construction Division and J&L Europe, 4. Best in Customer Satisfaction – Mining & Construction Commercial Operations Team, 5. Organizational Excellence – Joe Rosenhamer, European Manufacturing, 6. New Sources for Profitable Growth – Chrysler Team, 7.
