But it’s their resilience, hard work, innovation, and attention to quality that separates these rock stars apart from everyone else. Every year, this award puts a spotlight on the best of the best in the cold chain industry,” says Marina Mayer, editor-in-chief of Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive.
