Baker Commodities Inc. Open House a Great Success!

4/30/2010

The Baker Commodities Inaugural Open House, held on April 8, was a resounding success. More than 200 guests, including Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard, Vernon city officials, representatives from neighboring businesses and other dignitaries, attended the event that was held at Baker’s Sierra Pine office.

The goals behind the event were threefold: 1) to introduce visitors to the company, 2) explain the role rendering plays in the environment and 3) recognize the Congresswoman for her consistent support. 

Upon arrival, guests mingled and had their pictures taken with the Andreoli collection of rare vintage cars.  They also had the opportunity to learn more about the rendering and cold storage industries by viewing various exhibits in the offices.

At noon, they were escorted into an elegant tent, and treated to a gourmet luncheon.  Jim Andreoli Jr. addressed the crowd, celebrating the company’s proud history and exciting future.  Jim presented Congresswoman Roybal-Allard with Baker Commodities’ first Excellence in Government Award, and she gave a moving speech, praising the company for its forward thinking, and the vital role it plays in the community and environment.

After lunch, guests boarded buses and embarked upon tours of the Bandini plant, led by the Andreoli brothers and sons.  Visitors learned more about the rendering process as they toured the plant, and then stopped at the lab to see the actual process of manufacturing feeding fats, tallow and yellow grease.  The day finished with everyone being given green plants in Baker Commodities branded planters that they could proudly display on their desks.

The inaugural Baker Open House event successfully accomplished all of its goals and everyone had a wonderful time along the way!
