Melville, NY: Food Logistics, the only publication exclusively dedicated to the grocery and foodservice distribution supply chain, announces the fifth-annual listing of the Food Logistics 100 (FL100) in its November/December 2008 issue.

Each year, the editors of Food Logistics recognize 100 technology and solution providers that help grocery and foodservice distributors and manufacturers reach their business goals.

"In today’s tough economic climate, grocery and foodservice distributors and manufacturers are facing complex distribution challenges and they’re applying more technologies to better manage their supply chains,” explains Katherine Doherty, editor-in-chief of Food Logistics magazine.

“The FL100 is a source of technology solution providers that offer products and services that specifically focus on the unique needs of the food industry,” says Doherty. “Our readers turn to Food Logistics to learn about solutions and services that help them better manage their businesses. The FL100 recipients have demonstrated that they can meet our readers’ specific needs.”

After receiving nomination forms from end users and solution providers, the editorial staff culled through more than 140 submissions to compile this year’s FL100 listing. Final recipients are featured in the cover story of the November/December 2008 issue of Food Logistics, as well as online at www.foodlogistics.com.

The FL100 is not a ranking. The list has been designed to help the readers of Food Logistics find the best technology service and solution providers to the food industry.
