Plunkett, who joined Herbalife in 1998, received the “Visionary
Leadership” award for his leading role in helping Herbalife develop,
implement, and manage a strategy of self-manufacturing at Herbalife.
As a result of investing more than $250 million during the past six
years, the company now self-manufactures nearly 70 percent of all its
nutrition products. As part of that investment, Herbalife commenced
production of its $130 million, 800,000 square foot Herbalife Innovation
and Manufacturing facility in 2015 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The
facility includes a research and development laboratory. In Lake Forest,
California, Herbalife maintains a 133,00 square foot Innovation and
Manufacturing facility, which includes a quality control laboratory.
Both facilities are certified by NSF International and comply with
current Good Manufacturing Practices, and the quality laboratories at
both facilities are ISO17025 certified and accredited.
“I am honored, on behalf of the Herbalife manufacturing and engineering
team, to receive this prestigious industry award,” said Joseph
Plunkett, P.E., senior vice president of worldwide manufacturing and
engineering, Herbalife. “At Herbalife, we pride ourselves in making the
necessary investments to create a competitive advantage in the
manufacturing of regulated nutrition products such as dietary
supplements, foods and acidified foods.”
Now in its 12th year, the ML Awards honor organizations and
individuals that are shaping the future of global manufacturing.
Nominations are entered into 13 categories, evaluated and scored by a
panel of expert judges. Twelve of the ML Awards categories are for
outstanding projects by a manufacturing company.
“Winners of the 2016 ML Awards have proven that they are at the
forefront of a global, technology-driven transformation that we call
Manufacturing 4.0,” said Global Vice President and Editorial Director of
the Manufacturing Leadership Council David R. Brousell. “By relentlessly
improving and digitizing every corner of their operations, these
outstanding leaders are not only delivering greater value to customers,
they are redefining excellence in the manufacturing industry. We
congratulate them.”
The 73 organizations on the list of ML Award winners include small and

They all leverage best-in-class processes, technologies and engage teams
to distinguish themselves from their competitors.

About The Manufacturing Leadership Awards
The Manufacturing Leadership Awards, now in their 12th year, honor
manufacturing companies and individual manufacturing leaders that are
shaping the future of global manufacturing. Winning projects and
individual manufacturing leaders have demonstrated achievement in one of
a wide range of categories, and are chosen by a panel of expert judges
for results that enabled the manufacturers to set themselves apart from
their competitors and that have delivered clear and compelling value,
return on investment, and other tangible outcomes. There are several
winners in each category.
In addition to selecting winners in each awards category, the judges
select one High Achiever in each category, as well as a 2016
Manufacturer of the Year for small and large enterprises.
Manufacturer of the Year, along with the top-scoring project in each
category, will be announced at the 12th Annual Manufacturing
Leadership Awards Gala on June 8, 2016, during the Manufacturing
Leadership Summit, taking place June 6-9, 2016 at the Omni la Costa
Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, CA.
The theme for the 12th Annual Manufacturing Leadership Summit
is “Manufacturing 4.0: The New Rules of Leadership.” The event enables
senior-level executives in all aspects of manufacturing an opportunity
to network with and learn from the best minds in the industry. The
format consists of roundtables, networking events, and unique
question-and-answer sessions designed to provide the tools and ideas
necessary to solve today’s manufacturing challenges and to explore
revolutionary new opportunities.
