Universal Pure has been named a “2023 Top 3PL & Cold Storage Provider” by Food Logistics Magazine.
“From driver shortages to natural disasters, the last 12 months have continued to challenge the third-party logistics (3PL) space. But it’s the 3PLs and the cold storage providers that keep cold food product moving through the chain, despite disruption.
For example, many of this year’s winners offer a variety of 3PL services, including air cargo, bulk/liquid bulk transportation, direct-store delivery, freight forwarding, refrigerated trucking, truckload brokerage and more, and making investments in emerging technologies such as GPS, Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, food safety, delivery apps and more.
Meanwhile, many of the cold storage services offer their own range of services, from blast freezing and cross docking to inventory management and warehousing/distribution management, and investing in technologies like drones, track and trace, cloud-based and more.”
