Concord, N.C. – August 30, 2007 --
Cardinal Logistics Management, long regarded for
its efficiency and excellence as one of the industry’s
fastest growing third-party logistics company, has
earned yet another high honor in the industry ranking
#2 among a pool of qualified contenders in the annual “Quest for Quality” Awards,
sponsored by Logistics Management Magazine. The
award will be given to Cardinal senior management
team at the annual “Quest for Quality” Awards
dinner in conjunction with this year’s CSCMP
conference in Philadelphia in late October.
According to leading logistics experts at Armstrong & Associates, Inc. in
2006, in the U.S. alone, 3PL gross revenues grew by $9 billion to $113 billion—a
9.5 percent increase over the previous year. The 3PL industry now rings
in right around $415 billion—and according to industry experts there's
no visible sign of it slowing down. The reason is simple: As supply chains
become more global and more complex, shippers are turning to their 3PLs more
than ever to stretch operations into unfamiliar regions of the world.
According to Logistics Management readers, there
were 12 third-party logistics providers that are performing
top-notch service here in the U.S. and around the world. In the 3PL category, Cardinal Logistics Management ranked
#2 with a weighted score of 36.49 in one of the tightest races for top position
the category has ever seen. In terms of 3PL’s whose core competency
is dedicated final mile deliveries, Cardinal was the top ranking company.
The annual 3PL - “Quest for Quality” award recognizes innovation,
adaptability, and the capability to meeting customers’ unique needs. The
Quest for Quality is based on a consumer evaluation measuring performance, value,
information technology and customer service, and equipment and operations; the
distinguished field is then narrowed and the winners selected by the editors
at Logistics Management.
At all times, Cardinal Logistics is focused on working not
to just meet but exceed our customers’ expectations,” says
Jerry Bowman, President and COO of Cardinal Logistics Management. “We
are proud of the teamwork shown by our organization in receiving
this honor, particularly, as we celebrate our 10th anniversary,” he
said. “More important, we
are honored to be named by a leading trade publication like Logistics
Management as
a top ranking 3PL in a highly competitive pool of contenders. Being
recognized by our peers and editorial staff affirms our customers’ belief
and our employees’ commitment in what we do each and
every day.” Click
