Saginaw’s own Duperon Corporation received statewide recognition on Thursday, Nov. 4 as a recipient of the MFG Innovation Excellence award as part of the 2021 MFG Excellence Awards, hosted by the Michigan Manufacturers Association (MMA). The awards are held annually to celebrate the exceptional contributions that Michigan manufacturers make to their workforce, their communities, the economy and the industry.
“At the heart of the Duperon Corporation, we are a group of human beings who have decided to constitute ourselves as daring to make a difference for people, for water and for the planet,” said Tammy Bernier, CEO and co-owner along with Terry Duperon. “We do that by employing people who care, and that’s what makes our company such a wonderful place to work. We’re all working to make a positive change and protect the environment for future generations.”
For more than 35 years, Duperon Corporation has remained a leader in preliminary liquid/solids separation systems. They provide simple yet innovative solutions for a variety of screening and solids handling applications in the water and wastewater industry. Duperon’s business model revolves around creativity and open communication, empowering employees to take an inventive spirit in tackling some of the water industry’s biggest challenges.
“We are not innovating for the sake of innovation,” adds Mark Turpin, president of Duperon Corporation. “We innovate for a purpose – to solve a problem, make a difference, be in service and impact water quality. These are worthy causes that unite our team to bring a spirit of innovation to every endeavor.”
