More than 130 supply chain and logistics professionals gathered at an awards ceremony in Shanghai where the five tope winners were presented with their awards.

Electrolux Group received the top Supply Chain Operational Excellence Award for its global logistics initiative program, driven by the China team, that resulted in a 20-percent logistics cost reduction, successful VMI operations between China and overseas factories, and the rationalization of the number of logistics service providers worldwide.
