Singapore,
April 4, 2002 – Baxter Healthcare Pte Ltd has presented APL with
its Supplier of the Year Award for the tenth consecutive year at a recent
awards ceremony held in Singapore.
"APL delivers outstanding service year-in, year-out, and they manage
to always improve upon the previous year's high standard. Baxter maintains
its relationship with APL because we are always assured of quality service,
" said Mr. E C Ong, General Manager of Baxter Healthcare Pte Ltd.
Baxter's annual awards recognize the performance excellence of its business
partners in providing quality products and services. The business partners
are judged according to quality, delivery and service performance over
the course of a year on equipment condition, availability, transit time,
documentation, competitiveness, responsiveness and commitment.
"Baxter Healthcare has been one of our long-standing partners and we
are honored to be acknowledged by them yet again," said Mr. David Chan,
Managing Director APL Singapore and Vice President of APL, Southeast
Asia.
"Customer feedback is integral to our success and we are very proud
of our ability to meet Baxter's high standards for service provision
every year. Our business has changed quite a bit over the last ten years.
However, then, as now, people were concerned about making sure customers
are able to manage their businesses by providing cargo flow solutions
together. The big difference now is that we have moved beyond just ships
and containers to include web-based technology and complete logistics
solutions that help them make the right decisions at the right time,"
Mr. Chan added.
APL provides customers around the world with container transportation
services through a network combining high-quality intermodal operations
with state-of-the-art information technology. APL is the container transportation
arm of Neptune Orient Lines; a global transportation and logistics company
engaged in shipping and related businesses.
Baxter Healthcare, a division of Baxter International Inc., is a global
medical products and services company. Its products and services are
used by healthcare providers and their patients in more than 110 countries
and operate at more than 250 facilities worldwide.
