FST Logistics has been recognized as a 2022 “Top Food Chain

Provider” by Food Chain Digest, the official magazine of Food Shippers of America (FSA). FSA

brings together a community of supply chain and logistics professionals from the food and

beverage industry and their suppliers in order to facilitate education and networking opportunities

and enable supply chain efficiency improvements.

The Top Food Chain Provider program highlights third-party logistics companies (3PLs), freight

brokers, motor carriers, rail/intermodal and maritime companies (ocean carriers and port

authorities) that excel in capabilities and service to food transportation, logistics, distribution and

supply chain management, according to Brian Everett, group publisher and editorial director of

Food Chain Digest.

“Food shippers rely upon their logistics partners and carriers to help manage a productive,

efficient and seamless food chain,” said Everett. “A common theme for the companies on the

2022 list is that they have been providing significant value to food shippers at a time when

demand in all modes has been surging while the people and assets needed to move and store

goods and materials remain scarce. This program highlights leaders like FST Logistics that are

helping shippers navigate through their food chain challenges and accomplish their business

goals.”

According to Everett, this is the first year that Food Chain Digest has deployed this recognition

program to serve as a resource to food shippers as they secure partners and capabilities in

managing their supply chain strategy and execution.

Here’s how the program works: First, nominations were made by food chain providers and

reviewed by the staff of Food Chain Digest. Requirements of all candidates are that they are a

3PL, freight broker, motor carrier, rail/intermodal provider, or maritime company that generate at

least U.S. $5 million in gross global sales. These nominations were evaluated based upon value

provided to food shippers, achievements accomplished in the last 12-18 months, and solutions

that have helped to solve a business problem of food shippers.

Next, nearly 6,000 participants in the food industry voted for nominated companies that had the

strongest reputation and value in the food chain technology segment. As part of the process,

companies earning an adequate volume of votes are validated, which helped to identify the

companies named to the list.
