PLANO, Texas --(Business Wire)-- June 16, 2004 -- Transplace was honored in May by BP Solvay Polyethylene North America as Logistics Provider of the Year. In June, Transplace was awarded with Sysco Food Services Transportation Provider of the Year.
"We continue to enjoy a wonderful relationship with Transplace as our third-party logistics provider," said BP Solvay Polyethylene Distribution Operations Manager Rick Scharchburg during Transplace's Annual Shipper Symposium, "The Network Effect," held in May. "Transplace is easy to do business with and knows our business. Transplace is the example we use for other logistics suppliers."
Mike Scherm, BP Solvay Polyethylene Director of Logistics and Customer Service, wrote in the award letter, "We have many third parties providing logistics services of all kinds. It takes something special, not just good performance, to receive this award.... Throughout 2003, Transplace has scheduled deliveries to our customers in a high quality, safe and environmentally sound manner. Your operations and level of customer service set the standard for others to meet."
Sysco Food Services of Central Florida Director of Logistics Ronald W. Mickel said, "Effective results require awareness and understanding of problem solving tools and techniques that don't typically exist in most trucking companies. We believe that you as a major carrier at Sysco Food Services of Central Florida have grasped the importance of partnerships between shippers and carriers."
