Hanson Logistics Named 2009 Top 70 3PLs by Food Logistics

Hanson Logistics, a leading provider of third party temperature-controlled supply chain services, announced today the company has been named to Food Logistics’ 2009 Top 70 3PLs. Food Logistics, which focuses on the movement of product through the food supply chain, announced the fourth-annual listing of the Top 70 3PLs in its July/August 2009 issue.

"We are pleased to see Hanson Logistics included in this select list with other top-leading third-party providers,” said Andrew Janson, President of Hanson Logistics. “Our growing footprint and scope of national distribution services, together with our Velocities™ consolidation program, positions Hanson Logistics as a leading resource for end-to-end supply chain solutions, as we appreciate the readers and editors of Food Logistics recognizing our organization in this manner.”

Food Logistics first compiled its list of top third-party logistics providers in 2006. These 3PLs offer a broad scope of services and capabilities that enable food companies to reduce costs, increase flexibility and improve service levels. This is the first year Hanson Logistics has been included in the list.

“Food and beverage companies and their third-party logistics (3PL) counterparts are discovering win-win successes being felt throughout the supply chain—right into the back offices of financials, sales, marketing and IT,” explained Katherine Doherty, editor-in-chief of Food Logistics magazine. “Selecting the right 3PL is vital to the success of a company’s overall operations—it’s a long-term commitment.”

Food Logistics’ editors created this listing through research, nomination and submission forms from end users and solution providers, and industry analysts. Final recipients are featured in the cover story of the July/August issue of Food Logistics, as well as online at www.foodlogistics.com.
