Kraft Foods Recognizes C.H. Robinson for Exceptional Service and Capacity

EDEN PRAIRIE, MN, (April 22, 2015) — At its annual carrier conference in February, Kraft Foods honored C.H. Robinson with their “2014 Partnership Award,” noting the logistics company’s ability to find capacity and offer innovative solutions to manage incremental freight.

With extreme weather conditions and capacity issues complicating the logistics and transportation industry as a whole, 2014 was a year of significant challenges. C.H. Robinson worked closely with the Kraft team to develop logistics and transportation strategies to help gain consistent pricing and reliable service, and to manage both surge capacity and low volume freight efficiently throughout the year.

“Despite a difficult transportation environment last year, our team stayed focused on Kraft’s key business priorities,” said Alisha Greenwald, strategic account manager at C.H. Robinson. “We were on call 24/7, helping Kraft identify opportunities to aggregate low volume shipments so their products remained in stock and available for their consumers.”

In addition, C.H. Robinson was able to analyze and increase the effectiveness of Kraft’s logistics technology.

“C.H. Robinson delivers outstanding effort, managing not only our commitments but also seeking other opportunities to manage incremental freight,” said Paul Neurauter, director of transportation for Kraft. “Their professional attitude and responsiveness embodies the type of partner we want to work with.”
