Vanderlande has been named Supplier of the Year at this year’s Postal Technology International Awards, which took place during Post Expo 2015 in Paris on 29 September.
It is the second time that Vanderlande has won the Supplier of the Year category, having first taken the award in 2011.
The award recognises Vanderlande’s 'close cooperation with customers in a tough market', the 'ongoing benefits of its life-cycle services proposition' and its 'multilingual spare parts portal', which were all highlighted in the company’s nomination.
Vanderlande’s spare parts portal was developed in partnership with more than 15 of its customers during the pilot phase, and it now supports over 259 operations worldwide. This has helped the company’s customers improve their daily efficiencies and enabled them to concentrate on achieving their strategic goals.
The company’s focus on boosting customers’ performance and competitiveness in the market also impressed the judging panel, which was comprised of major decision makers within the parcel and postal industry.
Commenting on the award, Vanderlande Executive Vice President WPP (Warehouse Automation & Parcel and Postal) Terry Verkuijlen said, “We are delighted to have been given the title of Supplier of the Year. There have been some exciting changes within this sector at Vanderlande over the last 12 months, and this award shows that we are recognised as a supplier that delivers an excellent service to its customers.”
