| Shell Deer Park Honored as Industry of the Year
More than 650 people “saluted” the Shell Deer
Park refinery and chemical plant at the annual Salute
to Industry banquet in Deer Park on Nov. 18, 2004. As
“Industry of the Year,” Shell Deer Park was recognized
for its 75 years of operations and support to the
community.
Fran Keeth, president/CEO of Shell Chemical LP,
accepted the key to the city and numerous proclamations
on behalf of Shell Deer Park.
Keeth told the capacity crowd that the story of
Shell Deer Park is one of technology, innovation,
quality products, good jobs and being a good neighbor.
“It is about our top priorities of safety, health and
environmental performance, and competing in a very
challenging and increasingly global business climate.
But, most of all, the story of Shell Deer Park is its
people and partnerships. Good people working hard
and making a difference. People like the active and
retired employees seated at the Shell tables here today,
who represent the thousands of Shell Deer Park workers
since 1929.”
In September, Shell Deer Park hosted “Family Day”
for current and past employees and their families at
the Pasadena Convention Center. In addition, a 75th
anniversary history book of the site was published
and distributed to employees and retirees. Copies are
available for public viewing at the Deer Park Public
Library, 3009 Center Street. |
