For the fourth year, Logistics Europe magazine and KPMG Consulting have launched the Supply Chain Excellence Awards, in association with Exel Logistics. The closing date for entries is 15 July 2000 and companies interested in entering should contact Frank Rietz at KPMG Consulting by e-mail at Frank.Rietz@kpmg.co.uk, by post to 8 Salisbury Square, London EC4Y 8BB, or by phone on +44 (0) 20 7311 1000.
The Awards aim to recognise and reward organisations in Europe that demonstrate excellence in supply chain management, to enhance the understanding of supply chain excellence within European industry, and to help individual organisations to identify their strengths and weaknesses.
The winners of the 1999 Supply Chain Excellence Awards were:
- Ciba Vision Eurologistics, Germany - Overall Winner
- Haagen Dazs Manufacturing, France - Best FMCG Manufacturers
- Coloplast A/S, Denmark - Best Consumer Capital & Capital Goods Manufacturers
- Krone Technique Ltd, UK - Best Engineering Manufacturers

Graham Stevens, Head of CIM Supply Chain Consulting at KPMG Consulting commented on the impact of the awards, saying: "The awards have become a much sought after recognition for excellence in supply chain management. In addition to the recognition, however, previous entrants have cited the importance of the benchmark report we undertake, as part of the judging process, to their supply chain strategy. Every year the awards become more and more valuable."
Winners will be announced in November.
