Procter & Gamble, one of the world’s largest consumer products companies, makes most of its Folgers brand of coffee in Louisiana, near New Orleans.
While the plant was hard hit by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, it also did a pretty good job getting itself back and running after the devastation that the hurricane brought to the area.
Keith Harrison, P&G’s global products supply officer, spoke on Monday at the Reuters Consumer and Retail Summit about what the company has done since then to better prepare for another such storm.
Harrison spoke on the first day of the Reuters annual industry summit, which extends through Thursday in our New York offices.
