  • By land and sea. SEKO was among the 44 carriers recognized by Owens Corning with its Transportation Systems Excellence Award. SEKO was honored for its consistently high levels of quality in providing air and ocean export forwarding, import management and customs brokerage services.

  • Driven to excel. General Motors has honored two of its logistics suppliers with its Supplier of the Year award. Ryder System was recognized for its overall business performance in providing GM with parts and services. GM bestowed Global Supplier of the Year honors on APL Logistics for excellence in international logistics. APL has worked with General Motors for 20 years, providing inbound logistics management and ocean freight transportation services.
  • Racking up the honors. Racking specialist Steel King Industries has designated Riekes Material Handling as its Most Valuable Distributor during 2005. Riekes earned the honor by increasing sales volume by 249 percent, including the completion of 154 orders for 16 different Steel King products.

Richardson Associates. Richardson, who previously served as president and vice chairman of Sea- Land, is being recognized for his contributions to containerization, management and labor. Also being honored with the Admiral of the Ocean Sea award this year is Colin Veitch, president and CEO of Norwegian Cruise Line, who is being saluted for his company's efforts to promote ocean passenger service to U.S. ports.
