The award was one of four prizes collected by DS Smith during the evening gala. No other Mars supplier managed more than a single win. Three Perfect Performance awards also recognised DS Smith sites in Kutno, Poland, Toury, France and Lockerbie, UK for achieving a faultless rate of 0% non-conformance. "Quality and service are extremely important to DS Smith and our customers. This recognition from Mars is clear evidence of our quality leadership and a credit to all of the hard work, energy and commitment that is put in to quality supply every day by our employees across Europe," said DS Smith Packaging CEO Stefano Rossi. "But we can never be satisfied with our accomplishments and must look forward each day to see how we can improve for ourselves and for our customers."
For the sites in Kutno, Poland and Toury, France this is the fourth consecutive year achieving 0% non-conformance. An impressive record in any industry. "The goal for our European and local teams is to ensure that every order, every delivery and every interaction with Mars is absolutely perfect," said Mars Strategic Account Director, Frank McCusker.

The awards themselves are accompanied by a financial reward of several thousand euros to be spent for the benefit of employees at the winning locations. In previous years this has been used to build an outdoor recreational area where employees can take a break or for upgrades to canteen facilities.
