Merck Names Keller Crescent ‘Supplier of the Year’

Merck, Las Piedras, Puerto Rico, has selected Keller Crescent as a 2010 Supplier of the Year. Merck’s relationship with Keller Crescent dates back to the earliest days of the Vega Alta operation and the production of folding cartons.
"The 2010 merger of pharmaceutical giants Merck and Schering Pharmaceutical guided the Keller Crescent, Vega Alta operational team toward making quality and service requirements the primary drivers of the Merck-Schering transition," said Jose Villafane VP of Operations, "The Supplier of the Year Award is a credit to the hard work of the Keller Crescent cross-functional team and the entire staff."
