AFN Signs Multi-Year Contract With Lawrence Foods
AFN, a provider of freight brokerage, third party logistics and transportation management services, has signed a new multi-year transportation management services contract with Lawrence Foods.
Lawrence Foods is a manufacturer of bakery ingredients for in-store supermarket bakeries, foodservice operators, commercial food manufacturers and wholesale bakeries. Lawrence Foods product catalog includes cream fillings, dry mixes, fondant, fruit fillings, glazes, icings, nutrition bar layers and savory spreads.
AFN began working with Lawrence Foods on a transactional basis in June of 2008. AFN typically moved 'less than truckload' shipments to various bakeries, foodservice and grocery retailers all over the US.
Mike Wrobleski, director of supply chain at Lawrence Foods, said: In order to remain ultracompetitive, we needed to partner with a third party logistics company that is considered the expert in their respective field. We chose AFN to fully outsource our transportation needs from a truckload, less than truckload and intermodal perspective.
Doug George, director of transportation management services at AFN, said: More and more of our customers are looking to us to manage critical parts of their supply chain while they refocus their efforts on their core competencies.
“Lawrence Foods is a prime example of a company that recognizes the need to outsource this strategic part of their supply chain in order to drive down costs and provide the value its customers are looking for.
