His way is still Our Way In our founder's words... left: Hormel Flavor Sealed ham canning production in 1937 This year, we celebrate our founder s 150th birthday. George A. Hormel s wisdom and legacy of innovation and quality live on in our work today. George A. Hormel emphasized quality from the very beginning when he started his own company, Geo. A. Hormel & Company, in the 1890s. In this excerpt from George A. Hormel s unpublished autobiography Three Men and a Business he tells about his quest for quality. Quality was our only defense against the competition we had to meet from the big packers. To stay in business, we had to do everything a little better than they were doing it; the entire organization was keyed up to this one idea. I constantly hammered home the need for improving our working methods to the end that we could produce superior food while reducing costs, for in a highly competitive field it was impossible to accomplish the one without the other.
