Thiele Kaolin Co., Sandersville, Ga., USA, was presented three safety awards at the 2013 Georgia Mining Association conference. All three of the awards were granted on a basis of length of work completed without a lost time accident. The Avant-Ennis Mine and mill was recognized for having worked 12 years and 2 months, Hobbs Clay Mine for having worked 4 years and 10 months, and Reedy Creek Division Plant for having worked 4 years and 4 months accident free.

Thiele notes that these awards are a "testament" to the company's safety oriented culture, "made possible by the focused employees and management personnel that strive to maintain an injury free workplace."

Thiele mines, processes, blends, and delivers a full spectrum of kaolin coating and filler pigments tailored to meet the specific needs of its customers.
