Allen Lund Company Press Release

ALC named a "Top Food Chain Provider"

La Cañada Flintridge Calif., October 17, 2023:

For Immediate Release

The Allen Lund Company has been recognized as a 2023 “Top Food Chain Provider” by Food Chain Digest, the official magazine of Food Shippers of America (FSA). This is the second year in a row that ALC has won this designation. FSA brings together a community of supply chain and logistics professionals from the food and beverage industry and their suppliers in order to facilitate education, networking opportunities and enable supply chain efficiency improvements. 

The Top Food Chain Provider program highlights third-party logistics companies (3PLs), freight brokers, motor carriers, rail/intermodal and maritime companies (ocean carriers and port authorities) that excel in capabilities and service to food transportation, logistics, distribution and supply chain management, according to Brian Everett, group publisher and editorial director of Food Chain Digest.

“Food shippers rely upon their logistics partners and carriers to help manage a productive, efficient and seamless food chain,” said Everett. “A common theme for the companies on the 2023 list is that they have been providing significant value to food shippers at a time when demand in all modes has been surging while the people and assets needed to move and store goods and materials remain scarce. This program highlights leaders like the Allen Lund Company that are helping shippers navigate through their food chain challenges and accomplish their business goals.”

According to Everett, this is the second year that Food Chain Digest has deployed this recognition program to serve as a resource to food shippers as they secure partners and capabilities in managing their supply chain strategy and execution. 

"Once again, we are honored to be recognized by FSA as a Top Food Chain Provider. Delivering food across the U.S. is what we have done since we started in 1976. It will always be a main focus for our business," said Eddie Lund, President & CEO of the Allen Lund Company.
