The winners of this year's eyefortransport European 3PL Awards were announced and celebrated at a reception during the eyefortransport's 11th Annual 3PL Summit held at the Steigenberger Airport Hotel Amsterdam on 13th November 2013.
In 2013 Raben Group has been nominated and won in two categories:
Best 3PL for Consumer Goods Supply Chains and
Best 3PL for Fresh Food Supply Chains.
"It’s an important year for the 3PL awards,” said Chris Saynor, CEO of eyefortransport. “The increasing commoditization of 3PLs, in Europe and other markets, is putting 3PL-customer relationships under significant pressure. The finalists, chosen by our judging panel, represent companies who are successful in negotiating the fine line between protecting profits and fostering healthy, long-term, vested relationships in the fight against commoditisation. As always, it’s an honour to preside over these awards, which are here to help customer voices be heard” – adds Chris Saynor.
"These rewards are a great honour for us and they prove not only our Customers’ trust but also confirm their appreciation of our efforts in delivering high quality services. After all we have been chosen as the best partner in supply chain excellence second year in a row. What’s more important, this year we were awarded in the range of consumer goods as well as fresh food. That is why we would like to thank our Customers for their positive feedback and our Employees for their passion. Without them we wouldn't have received these awards” – said Ewald Raben, CEO Raben Group.
Each year the eyefortransport 3PL Awards aim to recognise those 3PLs that continuously deliver excellence in logistics operations and superior service to their customers. The nominees are shortlisted by a panel of industry experts, and the winners are then voted on and decided by European 3PL customers - the manufacturers and retailers who depend upon and work with logistics service providers every day.
“We realise that this precious distinctions are at the same time a commitment. This obligation to work even harder, deliver even better service, listen to the Customers even more attentively and confirm day by day that we are worthy of such prizes” – adds Ewald Raben.
