Costco CEO Recognized James Sinegal, CEO of Costco Wholesale Corporation, has been named Morningstar’s 2011 CEO of the Year. Morningstar, Inc., a leading provider of independent investment research, annually recognizes a chief executive who exhibits exemplary corporate stewardship, demonstrates independent thinking, creates lasting value for shareholders, and has put his or her stamp on an industry. “This year’s nominees each have added intrinsic value to the companies they run,” says Paul Larson, chief equities strategist and editor of Morningstar StockInvestor. “James Sinegal, who has served as CEO since co-founding Costco in 1983, has created and maintained value for all company stakeholders during his tenure. The average Costco employee is attractively compensated relative to other retail workers, keeping employee turnover low and productivity high. Although its top-notch benefits package and superior wages are costly on the surface, the firm is reimbursed handsomely, generating more than $500,000 in sales per employee.” “Waterless” Baking Tray Cleaning System Bene ts: What it Does • Cleans BakingTrays without water! • Stacks Cleaned Trays Automatically! • Tray oiler built in. • Eliminates Pan Washing! • Eliminate pan washing • Huge energy savings • Takes less ﬂoor-space • Reduce efﬂuent sewer discharge • Huge labor savings • Eliminate pan greasing • Eliminate paper liners • Low maintenance • R.O.I in months rather than years...
