Logistics solutions provider’s president honored on Food Logistics’ inaugural list of “Rock Stars of the Supply Chain” for helping food and beverage companies automate warehouse operations.
Westfalia Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of logistics solutions for plants, warehouses and distribution centers since 1992, announces that president, Dan Labell, has been named to the “Food Logistics Champions: Rock Stars of the Supply Chain” list. This inaugural award recognizes Labell for his leadership in delivering warehouse automation technology that enables food and beverage companies to move goods with maximum efficiency and traceability in order to deliver fresh, high-quality products.
Presented by Food Logistics, this award identifies influential individuals in the food/beverage industry whose achievements, hard work, and vision have shaped and continue to attain milestones in safety, efficiency, productivity and innovation throughout the global food supply chain. Behind Labell’s expertise and Westfalia’s automation solutions – including its high-density automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), and Savanna.NET® Warehouse Execution System (WES) – food and beverage manufacturers and distributors are optimizing their warehouse processes, maximizing efficiencies and realizing new savings.
“For food and beverage companies, customer satisfaction and trust are the key ingredients for success,” said Dan Labell, president, Westfalia Technologies. “AS/RS is helping these companies reach this goal by expediting product movement, minimizing damage and spoilage, and increasing throughput.
