Holland has been recognized as the Best Transportation Supplier for performance in 2013 by Avery Dennison, a global leader in labeling and packaging supplies and solutions. The award was given as part of Avery Dennison’s inaugural Supplier Symposium, held March 6, 2014 at the Cleveland Marriott Hotel in downtown Cleveland, Ohio.

Holland was given top honors in the freight category with the first ever, Best Transportation Supplier award. The award was given to “the transportation supplier who has maintained high delivery service and quality standards and has worked collaboratively with Avery Dennison to provide innovative solutions to network and delivery challenges.”

Over 200 professionals from more than 100 companies around the globe were in attendance to share ideas and learn about Avery Dennison innovations and planning. Following the symposium, a reception was held at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. At the reception, an awards ceremony was held where eight companies from a variety of industries were honored for superlative performances in 2013.

Award-winners were selected based on their performances in measures such as innovation, sustainability, service, overall value and quality.

“We are very proud to have been selected for this award from our partners and friends at Avery Dennison,” said Jim Ferguson, VP Sales and Marketing for Holland. “Providing award-winning service demands a collective, team effort. We would like to extend our deepest thanks and congratulations to every one of our Holland employees for delivering the very best service to our customers.”

This is the sixth such customer satisfaction award that Holland has won thus far in 2014.
