Ray Mendoza was recently awarded our “Associate of the Year” for 2017 during a ceremony at our Wilmer, Texas facility. We began our Associate of the Month program last summer and from the monthly winners, we chose our Associate of the Year. “It was a pleasure and a lot of fun to be able to participate in the award ceremony for Ray and watch how his co-workers were happy for him to win the award”, said Rob Doyle President of The Shippers Group. “The hard working and dedicated Wilmer team played a role in Ray receiving the award based on the facility’s success in 2017 and Ray was quick to thank them for helping him win the award.”

The Shippers Group owner Ken Johnson was recently honored with Abbott Nutrition’s Outstanding Ally Award. Ken was recognized at the Abbott Nutrition 2017 Logistics Provider of the Year Program for his continued support in advancing Abbott’s supply chain infrastructure and capabilities to meet their commitment of delivering products for patients to live a healthier and better life.

The Shippers Group was named among the top 75 supply chain companies that go above and beyond to increase sustainability in their operations. The G75 by Inbound Logistics is a prestigious award amongst industry firms. One example of TSG’s efforts was participation in the Texas Emissions Reduction Plan since 2007. The third-party logistics provider runs a recycle program for dunnage and shrinkwrap. As a SmartWay-certified carrier, the company restricts idle times to 3 minutes, maximizes cargo space utilization in trailers and works to eliminate moving empty trailers to reduce carbon emissions.
