SAN MATEO, CA, Nov 12 (MARKET WIRE) --
Menlo Worldwide Logistics, the global logistics subsidiary of Con-way
Inc. (NYSE: CNW), today announced that it has been named a 2008 Partner
in Progress for Sears Holdings Corporation. This is the second
consecutive year Menlo has received the award and the third time overall.
The prestigious Partners in Progress award is presented annually to a
select group of supplier companies that provide Sears Holdings with
quality products and services, from apparel, appliances and tools to
marketing, facilities design and technology. Less than one percent of
Sears Holdings' over 10,000 suppliers earn the coveted award each year.
Interim CEO and President Bruce Johnson congratulated the winners,
stating: "Sears Holdings relies on its supplier community, as well as the
quality of the merchandise and services they provide, to help us create
lasting relationships with our customers and empower them to manage their
lives. This program was started more than 25 years ago and is a testament
to the importance of collaborating with our supplier partners to better
serve our customers and increase productivity."
Menlo's relationship with Sears Holdings Corporation began 17 years ago.
In addition to providing transportation management and garment inspection
services for the nation's fourth largest broadline retailer, Menlo handled
the seamless integration of five cross-dock operations, which the company
continues to manage.
"Only the best of the best among Sears' suppliers are recognized with the
Partners in Progress award and we are thrilled to be a part of this
esteemed group," said Robert L. Bianco Jr., president, Menlo Worldwide
Logistics. "Our custom solutions, commitment to service and talented
employees contributed to this honor and we are grateful for the
recognition."
The Partners in Progress program recognizes suppliers for product or
service quality, innovation, diversity and overall market performance. The
winners were selected from nominations submitted by Sears' associates who
purchased goods and services for the company in 2008.
