ATLANTA - Washingtoner -- Food Logistics, the only publication exclusively dedicated to covering the movement of product through the global cold food supply chain, named Puga Sankara Founder CEO Smart Gladiator LoadProof as one of the winners of this year's Rock Stars of the Supply Chain award, which recognizes influential individuals in the industry whose achievements, hard work and vision have shaped the global cold food supply chain. This recognition is for the Leaders in Excellence category

"From cargo fraud and Mother Nature to ever-changing food safety regulations and a new Presidential Administration that could bring an increase in tariffs, cost of goods and more, many of today's supply chain leaders are faced with a number of challenges. But it's their resilience, hard work, innovation and attention to quality that separates these rock stars apart from everyone else. Every year, this award puts a spotlight on the best of the best in the cold chain industry," says Marina Mayer, editor-in-chief of Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive.
