Sears Holdings Recognizes Top Suppliers as True Partners in Transformation.
August 6, 2012 – Damco announced today they have been named a 2012 Partner in Transformation for Sears Holdings Corporation. Damco received the award in recognition of their innovative contributions to Sears.
Sears Holdings granted the prestigious Partners in Transformation award to a select group of supplier companies who have been helping support the transformation of Sears Holdings through innovation around customers, core retail excellence and financial and operational discipline. Of the over 30,000 suppliers that work with Sears Holdings, less than one half of a percent have the privilege of receiving this award.
“The Partners in Transformation award recognizes our top-performing suppliers as true partners in transformation. By providing the quality services, products and experiences that exceed our customer’s expectations and build lifetime relationships we can reach our company’s goal of becoming the leader in integrated retail – in-store, online and in the home,” said Lou D’Ambrosio, president and chief executive officer of Sears Holdings.
“Through our continued collaboration, we will be able to more effectively leverage the breadth of our portfolio and the power of our brands.”
“Damco takes great pleasure in receiving this award”, says Jeremy Haycock, president of Damco North America.
“It is extremely rewarding to be recognized by one of America’s great retailers as our goal is to offer our customers maximum value and measurable results by delivering a comprehensive suite of flexible and innovative solutions customized to meet their needs”.
The Partners in Transformation recipients are selected from nominations submitted by Sears Holdings’ associates who purchased goods and services from suppliers in 2011.
