ARLINGTON, Va. — The Consumer Brands Association announced today that Coyote Logistics will be the organization’s premier supply chain partner, working with the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry to build the supply chain of the future.

Coyote, a UPS company, is a leading global third-party logistics provider that combines a diverse, centralized transportation marketplace matching more than 10,000 shipments every day with data intelligence and market insights to help empower business growth in today’s rapidly changing world. Coyote will lend its expertise in logistics to help the association create innovative supply chain solutions that take the time, cost and complexity out of doing business.

“Our industry accounts for one-fifth of the freight in the U.S. and creating a frictionless supply chain is tantamount to providing consumers access to the products they use every day,” said Consumer Brands Association President and CEO Geoff Freeman. “This partnership offers a unique opportunity to leverage our industry’s impact and Coyote’s expertise to lay the groundwork for new supply chain solutions and assess the tools and policies needed to get us there.”

One of the first initiatives that the Consumer Brands Association and Coyote will collaborate on is original research focused on supply chains and emerging technologies in the CPG industry. By examining the key opportunities for Consumer Brands’ members and looking at what the future of supply chains may hold, Coyote hopes to arm CPG professionals with the insights needed to keep business moving forward more efficiently.
