PepsiCo Recognizes Saddle Creek Service
Lakeland, Fla., April 26, 2012 - PepsiCo, a world leader in convenient snacks, foods and beverages, has named Saddle Creek Corp. as its leading third-party provider. Saddle Creek's Lakeland campus has been awarded PepsiCo's 2011 Warehousing Excellence Award for detached distribution centers (DCs) as well as its second annual Third Party of the Year Award
for playing an integral role in PepsiCo's warehouse delivered system.
The Warehousing Excellence Award is given to the DC that demonstrates optimal performance. Saddle Creek was chosen from all of PepsiCo's stand-alone distribution centers for this honor.
In addition, Saddle Creek's Lakeland campus finished first overall among PepsiCo¹s third-party providers, earning the Third Party of the Year
award for the second consecutive year. This recognition is based on the 3PL's performance in a wide range of logistics functions.
The Saddle Creek team always goes the extra mile anticipating our needs, accommodating seasonal fluctuations, and performing at the highest level, said Chuck Ewing, PepsiCo's director of warehousing. That commitment to service excellence, combined with the full range of integrated services they provide, makes Saddle Creek a logistics partner worthy of recognition.

The fact that we can provide a full range of logistics services at the highest level in PepsiCo's network is very meaningful for us, said Butch Riggleman, Saddle Creek vice president and general manager.
