Eastman Chemical Company presented its Supplier Excellence Award to Penske Logistics. The Eastman Supplier Excellence Program was created to introduce a continuous improvement process to ensure that high quality and efficient services are supplied to Eastman.
Eastman Chemical has three levels of awards: Excellence, Improvement and Innovation. The Excellence Award process requires that the supplier be a strategic service provider to Eastman; meet or exceed the minimum overall performance expectations and undergo an Eastman management review.
Penske Logistics currently provides Eastman Chemical with supply chain optimization solutions including dedicated contract carriage and inbound freight management.
“During its first year as a supplier, Penske Logistics has exceeded the demanding expectations Eastman must maintain to remain an industry leader,” said Terry Begley, Eastman Chemical Vice President, Global Supply Chain and Quality. “A record of excellent service and quality performance, coupled with a high degree of professionalism prevalent among its employees, led to the recognition of Penske with Eastman’s Supplier Excellence Award.”
