NFI, a leading supply chain solutions provider, was recognized by Logistics Management in its annual Quest for Quality Awards in the categories of Truckload: Dry Freight Carrier and 3PL: Value Added Warehousing and Distribution Solutions. The lists, which were published in the magazine’s August issue, are based on reader surveys and provide insight for shippers in choosing a supplier who is best suited to satisfy their supply chain needs.

“In addition to being privately-held and family-owned, NFI’s unrivaled level of customer service, led by the industry’s leading logistic experts, is what sets us apart,” said Sid Brown, CEO of NFI. “Our approach to developing customized solutions that are tailored to the needs of our customers enables us to improve their operations from the inside out. By becoming a strategic partner and extension of our customer’s business, we can assist them in identifying opportunities for increased efficiencies, helping them to exceed their business goals”.
