• Supply & Demand Chain Executive (SDCE) 2020 Green Supply Chain Award (third year in a row)

MHPN's sixth annual Readers' Choice Awards recognize the achievements of companies for developments in conveyor systems and equipment for manufacturing, distribution centers and warehouses. With nearly 2,000 votes cast, industry readers decided the winners in a total of 12 categories.

SDCE's 13th Green Supply Chain Award recognizes companies that make sustainability a core part of their supply chain strategy and are working to achieve measurable sustainability goals in their own operations and supply chains. The award also recognizes supply chain solution and service providers that help their customers achieve measurable sustainability goals.

With online demand reaching unprecedented levels, particularly in grocery and during peak season, the importance of AutoStore solutions is increasing for retailers considering implementing micro-fulfillment centers for faster and more sustainable automated order fulfillment.

"We are honored to have received this recognition from two of the leading media outlets in the material handling and supply chain industry," said Karl Johan Lier, CEO of AutoStore (pictured). "At AutoStore, we are committed to delivering award-winning solutions that meet the needs of businesses and the fast-paced order demands of today's COVID era. Our automated solutions offer retailers four times the storage capacity in the same space compared to manual warehouses - saving space and energy. Some customers are seeing a 75% reduction in energy costs, while others are running their AutoStore system on solar power. Many thanks to the MHPN readers who voted for our solution and to the SDCE editors who selected us from a field of strong candidates."
