JTS Voted as "Top 50 3PL" by Food Logistics Magazine

JTS (Johanson Transportation Service), a leading third-party supply chain solutions provider, has been chosen as one of Food Logistics Magazine Top 50 3PL Providers to the food industry.

The Top 50 3PL is a listing of third-party logistics providers that are helping food, beverage and CPG companies gain a competitive logistical advantage. The goal of the Top 50 3PL listing is to highlight a broad range of 3PL services targeted at the food industry, addressing the needs of companies of varying sizes that make up the food supply chain.

Three years ago, Food Logistics announced its first "50" list of third-party logistics providers that were helping food companies optimize their warehousing and transportation operations. These 3PLs offer a broad scope of services and capabilities that enable food companies to reduce costs, increase flexibility and improve service levels.

“Today, many food companies are outsourcing various supply chain activities to gain a competitive advantage,” 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.Companies need to have an organized process for selecting and working with a potential 3PL as well as a list of appropriate candidates.”

“For more than 37 years JTS has been offering customized solutions for the nation’s largest food and dairy product companies”, says Lance D. Roberts, VP of Sales & Marketing at JTS. “We are proud to be recognized as a leading provider in this area, and we will continue to expand our solutions and provide unparalleled service to meet the needs of future and existing long-term customers we serve in the food industry.”

JTS will be featured in the cover story of the September 2008 issue of Food Logistics, as well as online at www.foodlogistics.com
