When people think of automation, they picture robots and computers replacing people. But it’s actually about improving safety and eliminating human error, which are hugely important in chemical manufacturing. Additionally, it's about empowering people. Automation takes most of the manual part out, which allows people to build new skills and capabilities and use their experience in a more fulfilling way. Read more about how Koch companies are using automation across manufacturing facilities and how Koch Ag & Energy Solutions employee, Howard Elton, is working to build the plant of the future.

“I needed to find that thing that makes me who I am and be happy.” Lifelong learning and continual transformation are engrained in our philosophy at Koch. No one embodies this better than Pedro Osornio, a programmer at Koch-Glitsch whose deep curiosity and unique talents helped him transform his career - from working on the night shift cleaning crew to programming high-tech laser-cutting machines.
Employee Appreciation Day is the perfect time to thank our employees across Koch companies. This past year, they've showed us how to be resilient, adaptable, flexible, and patient - just to name a few. We look forward to continuing to learn and transform together.

Everyone has something to offer to the world – they just need to be empowered to do so, Charles Koch says in a new interview with David Rubenstein on Bloomberg TV. “I wanted to help everybody have the benefit of the ideas that transformed my life and enabled me to achieve more than I ever believed possible and have done so for many others.”
Today is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. This day feels even more powerful this year, given the challenges we’ve faced as a nation. Many of the qualities Dr. King advocated for – Humility, Respect, Integrity and Courage – are found within our Guiding Principles. As we work together to improve people’s lives, we need to identify and remove barriers to give everyone an equal chance to contribute to transforming our future and continuing Dr. King’s work to make society a better place.
