Ten companies received the Postal Service’s Supplier Performance Awards during the National Postal Forum in April.

The annual awards, presented in four categories, recognize supply chain partners that help USPS save money, increase revenue or performance results, and demonstrate a spirit of collaboration.

The recipients were:

• Supplier Excellence Awards: Manhattan Telecommunications, Laurits R. Christensen Associates, Infinite Peripherals and Skopenow.

• Supplier Performance Awards: Zebra Technologies, Minnesota Diversified Industries, Intralox and Patriot Construction Management.

• Supplier Innovation Award: Greif Packaging.

• Supplier Sustainability Excellence Award: Engie Impact.

“Postal suppliers play a critical role in supporting all our performance initiatives, and importantly they enable us to serve and satisfy our universal service obligation to the American people,” Acting Postmaster General Doug Tulino told attendees at the presentation.

Tulino was joined by Luke Grossmann, chief financial officer; Mark Guilfoil, supply management vice president; and Benjamin Kuo, facilities vice president.
