This award recognizes influential individuals in the industry whose achievements, hard work and vision have shaped the global cold food supply chain.
ATLANTA: Food Logistics, the only publication exclusively dedicated to covering the movement of product through the global cold food supply chain, named Urs Grütter, CEO of Stoecklin Logistics Inc., a global provider of material handling solutions, as one of the winners of this year’s Rock Stars of the Supply Chain award, which recognizes influential individuals in the industry whose achievements, hard work and vision have shaped the global cold food supply chain.
“Not all rock stars are famous musicians. There are several rock stars right here in the cold chain, promoting workforce development, solving supply chain disruptions, mitigating risks and helping to heal the supply chain,” says Marina Mayer, Editor-in-Chief of Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive.
Many of these winners are actively involved in understanding customers’ needs, creating problem-solving solutions, ensuring the safe transport of cold food and beverages and adopting sustainable measures. The words used to describe them range from strategic, motivated and dedicated to passionate, educator and transformative.
“These rock stars rock. Period. They’re shaping the future of our global cold chains. And, they’re doing so in a way that’s both humble and pragmatic. Every year, I’m honored to celebrate these go-getters, and this year is no exception,” Mayer says.
Food Logistics noted Grütter’s induction as the 16th Member of the Swiss Logistics Hall of Honour at the 7th Swiss Supply Chain Hall of Fame benefit gala in August 2022 as a leading reason for bestowing the Rock Star honors. Grütter received the Swiss accolade as the person who developed Stöcklin Logistik AG into a leading global provider of sophisticated logistics systems.
“I’m pleased to again be named a Rock Star by Food Logistics and am truly humbled by the list of other industry luminaries I am joining. I am committed to doing my part to move the industry forward to greater performance and tributes like this certainly serve as a great motivator,” said Grütter.
