ORLANDO, Fla., June 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — iGPS Logistics, the nation’s leading provider of innovative supply chain solutions featuring its lightweight, recyclable shipping pallets, continues to make headlines as an award-winning player in the supply chain industry. The company was recently named the recipient of a 2024 Top Food Chain Technology award by Food Shippers of America, and iGPS was also announced as repeat honoree on the Inbound Logistics G75 Award winners list.
The Top Food Chain Technology awards program identifies standouts in the food transportation, logistics, distribution, and supply chain management industry. Managed by Food Chain Digest, the official magazine of Food Shippers of America, the program highlights technology platforms and the innovators that create them to help food shippers be more aware of all the options available to them in the industry.
The G75 award, which iGPS has garnered for the past several years, is limited to 75 supply chain industry leaders focused on environmental sustainability. This recognition is based on the exceptional features and benefits of the iGPS plastic pallet, as well as the company’s environmentally friendly pallet pooling ecosystem. The iGPS pallet is recyclable and about 35 percent lighter than comparable wood-block pallets, making it less costly to ship with fewer greenhouse emissions.
“We are pleased and grateful to be honored by both Food Chain Digest and Inbound Logistics,” said iGPS Logistics President and CEO Jeff Pepperworth. “Organizations throughout the supply chain continue to recognize the considerable value of the iGPS plastic pallet pooling model, as well as the environmental sustainability of our solutions. I am grateful to our hard-working team members for making these exciting honors possible.”
