Candor Expedite Receives Food Logistics’ Top 3PL & Cold Storage Providers Award
Plano, Texas – (June 11, 2024) — Candor Expedite, a transportation leader known for its ability to exceed expectations with time-sensitive shipments, today announced that Food Logistics, a top media outlet dedicated to covering the movement of products through the global cold food supply chain, named Candor Expedite’s New Food Chain Division a winner of this year’s Top 3PL & Cold Storage Providers Award.
The award recognizes leading third-party logistics and cold storage providers in the cold food and beverage industry. “We’re honored to be recognized by Food Logistics,” said Nicole Glenn, founder and CEO of Candor Expedite. “The timing is perfect as we just launched Food Chain, a fully reusable cold packaging solution that allows pallet and box-sized frozen and refrigerated shipments to go by regular transport and stay frozen or refrigerated for up to nine days,” she added.
Candor is the first and exclusive U.S. company to introduce this technology through a partnership with Cool Chain, a European technology provider that has been successfully working with pharmaceutical companies for over a decade. By consolidating the delivery of perishable and dry goods in one truck that supports three different temperatures —frozen refrigerated and ambient — food manufacturers, distributors, and retailers can eliminate the costs of multiple deliveries across the United States.
Food Chain’s technology sets a new bar for temperature-controlled and accountable shipping – featuring:
- Temperatures range from 10 degrees to 70 degrees. No dry ice – specific size boxes or pallets can hold temperature for 4 days on the small boxes – to 9 days for a pallet.
- Temperature readings & GPS tracking with live feeds on the products’ temperature and location.
- All boxes/pallets are 100% reusable and contain no harmful toxins. Nor does it require extra insulation and cardboard which often gets discarded; and dry ice which can emit a dangerous carbon dioxide gas as it melts. From start to finish, Candor Food Chain covers all bases for the shipper/consignee – from pick-up to delivery, followed by stringent cleaning and conditioning.
- Shippers can use any mode of transportation with Food Chain’s packaging – including local distribution centers to stores; regional; and OTR capabilities.
