Bakken Directory 2012: Lynden celebrates award winning summer of 2012

The Lynden family of companies said Sept. 4 that it was recognized as the best of the best by shippers and supply chain professionals this summer. Lynden was chosen as one of the Top 100 third-party logistics service providers and as a Green Supply Chain Partner by Inbound Logistics magazine. The company was also named one of the 100 Greatest Supply Chain Partners for 2012 by SupplyChainBrain magazine and as one of Transport Topics’ Top 100 For-Hire Truck Carriers. Earlier this summer, Lynden Transport was voted the No. 1 Less-than-Truckload carrier for the Western Region in Logistics Management magazine’s annual Quest for Quality Awards.

The lists are compiled by surveys and polls of 3PLs and supply chain professionals. The Top 100 3PL Providers list is the result of editors soliciting questionnaires from more than 400 3PLs, detailing the services they provide and their areas of expertise. To make the Green Partner list, companies were required to show a deep commitment to green initiatives and supply chain sustainability.

“Inbound Logistics selected Lynden as a 2012 Top 100 3PL Provider because of its successful track record in satisfying customers’ needs to cut costs while delivering the operational efficiency required to compete on a global level,” said Felicia Stratton, editor of Inbound Logistics magazine.

Inbound Logistics is the leading trade magazine targeted toward business logistics and supply chain managers.
