On Tuesday, October 1, Nova was awarded TheLINK’s 2024 Manufacturer of the Year award!
Nova was granted this award, not only based on the impact made on the Sumter community through our growth, but also because of our focus on the livelihood of our employees and the community where we live and work. Built on the ideal that Nova’s financial success enriches the lives of our employees, the community, and our customers, our unique culture enriches the human spirit and sense of service. CEO, Chris Adams explains, “Our culture was instilled by our founder, Mike Clumpner and our employees work hard to preserve this mindset. We owe our continued success to our team of dedicated employees. We celebrate and thank them for all they do to earn this incredible recognition”
We are a proud sponsor/exhibitor in the Sumter eSTEAM festival and participate in multiple career days across the county. Our employees volunteer their time at the Crosswell Home for Children, and we have many activities through our “Seasons of Giving” campaign, including donations to the Sumter United Ministries, among other sponsorships and donations.
Nova’s Recover and Return model enables over 60 million pounds of solvent annually to be reused rather than incinerated. In a recent Life Cycle Analysis Nova found that our process to recycle just one chemical for one customer (just a small portion of what we recycle) has the impact equivalent to removing 75,000 cars from the road!
Our employees are offered robust and market leading benefit offerings and wellness plan/challenges. From our “Nova Rocks” recognition, STOP Safety/Quality Observation, and Arbinger leadership training programs. We are proud to have been certified as a “Great Places to Work”, the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and leadership behaviors. The certification is based on what employees say about working at Nova Molecular Technologies.
We are grateful for the partnership with Sumter Economic Development/The Link, and Nova would like to thank them for this honor.
