LAKEWOOD, N.J., June 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UNEX Manufacturing, Inc. , the trusted industry leader in providing innovative order picking solutions, win the 2018 Food Logistics Green Supply Chain Award.

“Using green technologies within your distribution operations will help to lower energy costs and decrease your carbon footprint to address consumer concerns about sustainability,” said Brian C. Neuwirth, VP of Marketing and Sales at UNEX Manufacturing. “We are pleased to once again win this prestigious award.”
“The agricultural sector and food supply chains at large have long recognized the importance of environmental stewardship for long-term sustainability in both business and for future food production globally,” notes Lara L.
