Vigon Kicks off Summer 

In celebration of Memorial Day and some beautiful weather after a long winter, Vigon's HR Department and Social Committee worked together to host a barbeque for all employees.

The barbeque took place on the lawn next to the Admin. Building and included a variety of fantastic food, as well as some yard games, and a picnic dessert-making contest. The contest featured anonymous entries that the Yipppeee Team were able to try then vote for their favorite. The winner was Vigon's Food Safety Team Leader, Bill Bower, with his S'mores Bites. At the end of the event, each team member received a Vigon towel to help jump-start the summer season.
Nuts for Peanut CO2

The month of May began with Vigon's attendance at the NYIFT Suppliers Expo held in Secaucus, NJ.

The event gave the Vigon Team an opportunity to meet with companies and representatives from all segments of the food related industries. The Team was also able to express their excitement over state of the art peanut CO2 extracts - including their newest Peanut Flavor Boosted Oil.

NYSCC Suppliers' Day

During the second week of May, the New York Society of Cosmetic Chemists held their annual Suppliers' Day at the Javits Center in New York, NY.

For the second year in a row, Vigon featured a booth at the show. The Vigon booth brought a splash of color and some much needed Yipppeee Spirit to the event. The Yipppeee booth was stocked with a bunch of fun giveaways and gave the Vigon Personal Care Team an opportunity to interact directly with both current and future customers.

Tell us a little bit about your background?

I have a degree in Biochemistry from ESU and I have been with Vigon for 13 years. 

What do you like best about your job?

What I like most about Vigon is that it lets me grow and change with the company. I started in Quality Control, moved to Process Development and am now in Regulatory. When I am ready for a change, Vigon has been able to give me new responsibilities to keep me challenged. 

What do you like to do in your spare time?

My spare time is mostly spent with my husband and our two boys. In the summer we spend a lot of time camping or on our boat.
