Logistics Community Names C.H. Robinson the Top 3PL

EDEN PRAIRIE, MN (August 5, 2014) — For the fourth consecutive year, C.H. Robinson, one of

the world’s largest third-party logistics (3PL) companies, has been named the #1 3PL by the

readers of Inbound Logistics magazine.

The annual Top 10 3PL Excellence Awards, organized by Inbound Logistics, are an opportunity

for supply chain professionals from small, medium, and large companies across a broad range of

industries to commend the logistics providers they believe offer the best service, reliability, and

communication. C.H. Robinson has been included on the Top 10 3PL Excellence Awards list each

year since the survey launched in 1998.

C.H. Robinson invests in finding and building talent throughout the organization and around the

world. Providing customers with support and expertise through single points of contact is a

strong principle of C.H. Robinson’s approach to the market. The same support is also afforded to

employees and reflected by the recent announcement of C.H. Robinson’s 13th appearance as a

best place to work by the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal on their 2014 “Best Places to

Work” list.

“At C.H. Robinson, our people have always been one of our strongest competitive advantages,”

said Ronnie Davis, director of account management at C.H. Robinson. “Being named the #1 3PL,

for the fourth consecutive year, shows that our customers, contract carriers, and suppliers

consistently recognize our people and their dedication and commitment to them.”

As supply chain decisions move from the back room to the boardroom due to changing market

needs, C.H. Robinson’s portfolio of services and global capabilities continue to assist customers

as they strive to improve their transportation and supply chain strategies. The deployment of

C.H. Robinson’s new tagline, Accelerate Your Advantage®, adds emphasis to this effort.

Accelerate Your Advantage reinforces the ongoing dedication of employees and reiterates the

benefits of working with C.H. Robinson.

“C.H. Robinson’s responsive, evolving strategy helps create and maintain strong relationships

with customers in all corners of the globe. Through these connections, C.H. Robinson provides

customers with adaptable business processes and strategic solutions,” said Felecia Stratton,

editor of Inbound Logistics. Inbound Logistics is the leading trade magazine targeted toward business logistics and supply
