EgeTrans receives 'Partner-Level-Supplier' and 'JD CROP' award for fiscal year 2014.

Bettendorf, IA/USA - EgeTrans receives the award as 'Partner-Level Supplier' for fiscal year 2014 in the John Deere 'Achieving Excellence' (AE) program (Unit Worldwide Logistics) and the JD CROP Division Award (Cost Reduction Opportunities Proposal). EgeTrans was honored because of its dedication to providing logistics service of outstanding quality as well as the commitment to continuous improvement.

The award was accepted by Peter Steinmueller, CEO during the formal ceremony held in Bettendorf, IA/USA in March 2015. EgeTrans is the Lead Logistics Provider of international logistics services for John Deere units in North America, Mexico, Brazil, Europe and Asia.

EgeTrans already honored the last years
We earned the first recognition as 'Partner-Level Supplier' in 2007 and we received the award ever since. For fiscal year 2007 and 2013 we were even announced 'Supplier of the Year' in the unit Worldwide Logistics. Additionally, in 2009 and 2011 we also received the JD CROP Division Award (Cost Reduction Opportunities Proposal). Suppliers are honored for providing cost-reduction ideas which are not only of outstanding quality but also exceed the required annual potential cost savings by far.

John Deere's 'Achieving Excellence'
Suppliers who participate in the 'Achieving Excellence' program are evaluated annually in several key performance categories, including quality, cost management, delivery, technical support and wavelength, which is a measure of responsiveness. John Deere Supply Management created the program in 1991 to provide a supplier evaluation and feedback process that promotes continuous improvement.

Thank you to …
John Deere and their suppliers for their confidence in our work and the excellent relationship and cooperation. For their contribution to our logistics services we thank our service suppliers as well. EgeTrans is honored to receive the award for 2014 in John Deere's 'Achieving Excellence' Program.

We look forward to working with John Deere in 2015 and will work to improve and develop our services and performance to reach and exceed John Deere's standards in the future.
