  • Coating Removal Technology Using Starch Based Abrasives, a Review of Current Aerospace Application Using the Envirostrip Dry Stripping Process
    Coating removal technology using starch based abrasives, a review of current Aerospace application using the Envirostrip dry stripping process. by Denis Monette and Cameron Drake Archer Daniels Midland September 2000 995 Mill Street Montreal, H3C1Y5 Phone: 514-846-8516 INTRODUCTION Due to stringent environmental regulations enacted in the past 10 years, methylene chloride (MC) has been phased out in many industries because it is harmful to the environment and the workers exposed to it. The aerospace industry, historically a large user of MC, researched and adopted many environmentally acceptable alternatives to replace methylene chloride based paint strippers. This has proved to be a very difficult task as MC chemical strippers have been very effective in removing tough polyurethane/epoxy coating systems typically found on aircraft structures A variety of new “environmentally acceptable (EA) chemicals” were developed in the last five years to replace MC. These EA chemicals are considered safer because the chemicals are not as volatile, having very low evaporation rates. However, some strongly believe that new EA chemicals may still pose unknown health risks to workers, as well as potentially damage aircraft structures due to long term ingress problems. Because MC strippers evaporate so quickly, problems associated with chemical ingress were rare. The potential for the new EA chemicals to damage and/or corrode sensitive aircraft structures is a new problem due to the low evaporation rates (low volatility) of these MC chemical substitutes. Ten years ago, an alternative non-chemical, paint removal process was introduced to the aerospace industry. This process uses a dry abrasive media, called EnviroStripÒ wheat starch, which is projected at low pressures to remove virtually every type of organic coating from most aerospace materials.

  • 2021 Letter to Stockholders Proxy Statement 2020 Form 10-K
    2021 Letter to Stockholders Proxy Statement 2020 Form 10-K Dear Stockholders, When I last reported to you a year ago, we were closely monitoring the spread of COVID-19 and what 2020 had in store for us. Now, as we enter 2021, I can look back and say I have never been prouder of our team than after seeing how they rose to meet the challenges we faced together over the past year. 2020 Performance and Accomplishments Before I report on our many achievements in 2020, it is important to acknowledge how the pandemic has affected our 39,000 colleagues around the globe. We lost team members to COVID-19, and many of us have lost friends and family members as well. There have been very real economic, emotional and psychological impacts of the virus and the lockdowns that have been neces- sary to combat it. Throughout the year, as the virus first appeared and then spread, we worked to keep our workplaces healthy, our communities resilient, and our global food chain strong. We dramatically expanded our IT infrastructure to allow non-production colleagues to work safely from home, while simultaneously supporting our frontline teams, who continued coming to our production facilities every day. We worked with the University of Illinois on new saliva-based COVID-19 testing capabilities. And we offered financial and other support to colleagues and communities in need. Now, we are focused on helping our team members get vaccinated to protect ourselves and those around us, and accelerate a return to normalcy. Amid all of these challenges, our team delivered for our company and our customers.

  • Cereal Secrets: the World's Largest Grain Traders and Global Agriculture
    OXFAM RESEARCH REPORTS AUGUST 2012 CEREAL SECRETS The world's largest grain traders and global agriculture MS. SOPHIA MURPHY INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT AND SENIOR ADVISOR AT THE INSTITUTE FOR AGRICULTURE AND TRADE POLICY DR. DAVID BURCH HONORARY PROFESSOR SOCIOLOGY, THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND DR. JENNIFER CLAPP PROFESSOR, ENVIRONMENT AND RESOURCE STUDIES AND INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS, UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO The four big commodity traders – Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Bunge, Cargill and Louis Dreyfus, collectively referred to as ‘the ABCD companies’ – are dominant traders of grain globally and central to the modern agri-food system. This report considers the ABCDs in relation to several global issues pressing on agriculture: the ‘financialization’ of both commodity trade and agricultural production; the emergence of global competitors to the ABCDs, in particular from Asia; and some of the implications of large-scale industrial biofuels, a sector in which the ABCDs are closely involved. The report includes a discussion of how smallholders in developing countries are affected by these changes, and highlights some development policy implications, given the importance of the ABCD firms in shaping the world of food and agriculture. The report highlights the ways in which these four firms are decisive actors in the global restructuring of the overlapping food, feed, and fuel complexes that is now under way, and considers how the firms are evolving as they respond to and shape the new pressures and opportunities in the modern agri-food system. Oxfam Research Reports are written to share research results, to contribute to public debate and to invite feedback on development and humanitarian policy and practice.

  • Hershey Foods Corp
    HERSHEY FOODS CORPORATION MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Hershey Foods Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and entities in which it has a controlling financial interest (the “Company”) are engaged in the manufacture, distribution and sale of confectionery and grocery products. The Company was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on October 24, 1927, as a successor to a business founded in 1894 by Milton S. Hershey. OVERVIEW The Company concluded a strong year in 2003. Operating results were consistent with management’s strategies, which provide for profitable growth in sales by focusing on key brands, such as Hershey’s, Reese’s and Hershey’s Kisses, among others; gross margin expansion through enhanced price realization, improved sales mix and supply chain efficiencies; and increases in earnings per share through increased operating profits and share repurchases. These strategies have been successful in improving profitability and have enabled expanded marketing support. Marketing support, which includes promotional allowances that reduce net sales, combined with advertising and consumer promotions expense, increased approximately 200 basis points, as a percentage of gross sales before allowances during the three-year period ended December 31, 2003. The increase was focused on promotional allowances to the Company’s customers, which market research has shown are effective in supporting profitable growth. The Company’s advertising strategy has been focused on key brands and new products which, along with more efficient agency contracts, has resulted in reduced spending. Results show that these marketing strategies have been successful in achieving performance goals and gaining market share. Strategies providing for profitable sales growth, gross margin expansion and earnings growth, along with a disciplined approach toward capital investment, have resulted in increased economic returns for the Company.
