On 17 March, Mr. Kiyoshi Nakao, president of Toyo-China, received a commemorative plaque from Dow Corning Corp. in recognition of 20 million safe hours, as at 12 March, at a project launched in January, 2006, to meet growing Chinese demand for silicone products. The award clearly demonstrates our strict adherence to Toyo-C's HSSE policy. Mr. Nakao reiterated his appreciation for the effort needed to reach this achievement, and encouraged our staff to extend this exemplary performance to the project's conclusion.
