AUSTIN, Texas, October 22, 2024 – For the second consecutive year, leading restaurant chain Chipotle Mexican Grill has named transportation and technology company Arrive Logistics as its Inbound Logistics Supplier of the Year.
Chipotle’s dedication to Food with Integrity is rooted in supply chain and transportation excellence. Chipotle and Arrive share a common goal and commitment to upholding exceptional standards and delivering ingredients and products that are grown, raised, harvested and made with respect for people, animals and the environment.
Chipotle gives its Inbound Logistics Supplier of the Year award to the transportation partner who leverages strong relationships and exceptional execution to deliver best-in-class service and strategic solutions. The company recognized Arrive’s strong understanding of its business and partnership for playing a critical role in Chipotle’s continued success.
The Arrive team also received acknowledgment for its commitment to going above and beyond on special projects and in crucial moments. Chipotle complimented Enterprise Partnership Representative Matt McInerney and his team for their support during an important distribution center transition and efforts to keep another distribution center’s operations running during severe weather by sourcing local drivers, renting equipment and even helping unload trucks.
From executing the fundamentals of exceptional service to solving unique challenges that keep the company moving in the face of unexpected disruptions, McInerney said strong collaboration enables Arrive to consistently exceed expectations for Chipotle.
“We’ve established such a great partnership with Chipotle,” he says. “Collaboration starts at the Analyst level and extends to their leadership and across their supplier network, allowing our team to find efficiencies and implement creative solutions. I’m proud to know we’ve helped them move the needle in such a meaningful way.”
