GENCO ATC receives prestigious "Partners In Progress" award from Sears Holdings Corporation
PITTSBURGH, Pa. – September 13, 2011 – GENCO ATC, the leader in Product Lifecycle Logistics and North America’s 2nd largest third-party logistics provider, announced today they have been named a 2010 Partner in Progress for Sears Holdings Corporation (Sears). GENCO ATC received the award for providing technology that improves processing and analysis of the vast amounts of parcel data at Sears and empowering Sears to make informed decisions based on quick access to that data.
Each year, Sears grants the prestigious Partners in Progress award to a select group of suppliers and support companies. These suppliers and support companies provide Sears with quality products and services from apparel, appliances, and tools to marketing, facilities, design, and technology. Of the over 30,000 suppliers and support companies that work with Sears, less than one percent have the privilege to receive this award.
"The Partners in Progress award has recognized the commitment, quality and innovation of our top-performing supplier partners for the last 30 years. The dedication of these suppliers allows us to continue to present our customers quality services, which support our company’s goal of becoming the leader in integrated retail-in-store, online and at home," said Lou D’Ambrosio, president and chief executive officer of Sears Holdings Corporation. "Through our continued collaboration, we will be able to more effectively leverage the breadth of our portfolio and the power of our brands."
"We are extremely please to once again receive this prestigious award as recognition for our performance," said Herb Shear, GENCO ATC’s chairman and chief executive officer. "It stands as a testament to our teammates’ dedication and commitment to delivering initial and ongoing value."
The Partners in Progress recipients are selected from nominations submitted by Sears’ associates who purchased goods and services from suppliers and service providers in 2010. The award recognizes suppliers and service providers for product or service quality, innovation, diversity and overall market performance.
