UTi Wins Nexteer's Superior Customer Service Award
November 19 2015 - 7:00AM
UTi Worldwide Inc. (Nasdaq:UTIW), a global supply chain services
and solutions provider, has won Nexteer Automotive's Superior
Customer Service Award. Nexteer, a global leader in advanced
steering and driveline systems, made the award at their recent
Annual Supplier Conference.
UTi received particular recognition for its collaborative and
creative approach to problem solving, demonstrated by its response
to the US West Coast port labor slowdown. Working closely with
Nexteer, UTi acted quickly to divert and re-route shipments which
helped to minimize the impact of the labor action on Nexteer's
operations, resulting in no plant shutdowns. UTi has been
supporting Nexteer with their global logistics needs since
2012.
Stuart Turner, Enterprise Commodity Manager, Global Logistics
& Supply Chain Risk at Nexteer Automotive, said "We have built
a strong global relationship with UTi. We trust their ability to
manage our needs not only when the network operates smoothly but
more importantly when the network is negatively impacted by
external factors. They have earned that trust by the way they
successfully managed Nexteer freight during the US West Coast port
labor crisis."
Robert Choy, Global Vice President, Automotive and Aerospace at
UTi, who accepted the award on the company's behalf, added: "Our
job is to find creative solutions to our clients' logistics
challenges, and that's what we love doing. By working in true
collaborative partnership with Nexteer, together we were able to
achieve the best possible result in challenging circumstances. We
value our partnership with Nexteer and are delighted to receive
this award from them."
Nexteer's annual supplier conference on took place on October 6
in Freeland, Michigan, with over 500 guests from 150 companies in
attendance.
