Middle Georgia Plants Recognized with 2025 GMA Safety Awards

Toomsboro and McIntyre facilities honored for excellence in safety performance

CARBO is proud to announce that our Middle Georgia manufacturing plants in Toomsboro and McIntyre have each received the prestigious Georgia Mining Association (GMA) Safety Recognition Awards. These awards recognize outstanding achievement in maintaining significant time without a Lost Time Accident (LTA) — a testament to the culture of safety that drives our operations every day.

Safety as a Core Value

At CARBO, safety is more than a protocol — it’s a core value. We believe that protecting our people is the foundation for everything else we do, from operational excellence to product innovation. The recognition from GMA underscores our company-wide commitment to maintaining a safe and responsible workplace.

Leadership at the Plant Level

The success of our Middle Georgia operations can be credited in large part to the dedicated leadership of our plant managers:

• Jodi Lamb, Plant Manager of the McIntyre facility, has consistently emphasized a culture of accountability and care for every team member.
• Keith Hogan, Plant Manager of the Toomsboro facility, has worked tirelessly to ensure his team has the resources and training to perform their work safely and effectively.

Together, their leadership reflects the strength of CARBO’s values in action.

EHS and Sustainability Commitment

Safety is also central to CARBO’s broader Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) and Sustainability strategy. Joel Howard, CARBO’s EHS and Sustainability Manager, plays a key role in driving initiatives that not only strengthen workplace safety, but also enhance environmental responsibility and long-term sustainability across our operations. His leadership ensures that CARBO’s plants remain safe, efficient, and aligned with both regulatory standards and community expectations.

Made in the USA: Quality and Reliability

These awards also highlight another cornerstone of our business — our products are proudly made in the USA. By producing our advanced ceramic solutions in the US, CARBO ensures:

• High-quality manufacturing standards backed by decades of expertise.
• Supply chain reliability, giving our customers confidence in product availability and consistency.
• Support for local communities through investment in jobs, training, and safety.

Looking Ahead

We celebrate these achievements in Toomsboro and McIntyre as milestones in our ongoing journey to ensure the health, safety, and success of our employees and the industries we serve. Congratulations to the teams, and to Jodi, Keith, and Joel for their leadership and commitment to excellence.
