find ways to deliver the same great taste
and enjoyment but in a way that delivers
a healthier impact.”
Dunham said he likes working in
Missouri because of the people’s “passion
and talent.”
“The greatest strength of the Unilever
factory in Sikeston is the team within
the facility,” he said. “Sikeston and the
surrounding area have a strong work
ethic, coupled with a rich farming history
that has seen achievement even through
adversity.”
A factory as big as Unilever has
a large impact on the economy of
Sikeston, with its population of well
under 17,000 people.
“The key goal is to continue to grow
the operation, provide rewarding
employment and a strong future for the
community,” said Dunham.
Dunham himself has been involved in
the industry from the very beginning of
his career.
“I attended Southeast Missouri State
University, landed an internship with a
local ice cream factory and grew with
the company,” he said. “I never imagined
my career spanning nearly 20 years of ice
cream manufacturing, but the process
gets in your blood and the challenges of
the operation keeps it interesting.”
Sounds like a pretty sweet profession.
