Louisville, KY (September 26th, 2012) – Derby Supply Chain Solutions, a value-added third party logistics provider headquartered in Louisville, KY, was recently honored with a 2012 Gold Medal from Orkin, The IPM Institute of North America and NSF International for a perfect score at its Cleveland, Tennessee facility in a recent third-party audit.

“Earning a perfect pest control score on your audit is no small feat,” said Orkin Director of Quality Systems Zia Siddiqi, Ph.D. “Forming a strong partnership with your pest management provider is the first step. But earning a high score means going above and beyond in your efforts even when your pest management professional is not present.”

Derby adopted the IPM approach to pest control and prevention because of the non-chemical nature of the program. Derby serves several markets and industries, including food and confections. The Cleveland, Tennessee facility is FDA-certified and features 25,000 square feet of climate controlled space.

In appreciation for this achievement, Orkin will recognize Derby Supply Chain Solutions with an upcoming advertisement in Food Processing Magazine.
