PRESS RELEASE - 2010

Wiedmaier, CEO of Container and Pooling Solutions (CAPS) (www.usecaps.com), was recently recognized by Supply & Demand Chain Executive as a 2010 Provider Pro to Know. Mr. Wiedmaier is featured among the list of prestigious executives selected for their exemplary leadership in the manufacturing and non-manufacturing sectors.

Annually, Supply & Demand Chain Executive recognizes practitioner, practitioner team and provider Pros to Know. The thought leaders selected for these honors are evaluated on their proven track record of initiating programs and projects that give their companies a competitive advantage in the marketplace. This year, provider nominees were evaluated on their ability and success with helping clients address challenges of the recession and positioning their customers to recover in the year ahead.

For more than 10 years, CAPS has been North America’s leading provider of container management solutions, including the rental and tracking of reusable containers. Since 2004, Robert Wiedmaier has led the company to achieve significant growth through innovation, particularly throughout the economic downturn of the previous few years.

"Our goal at CAPS is to consistently provide innovative solutions for our customers in order to help them decrease costs and increase overall operational efficiency," explains Wiedmaier. "Throughout the recession, these goals have become increasingly critical to the success of our customers. We’re proud to have helped them by providing enhanced tracking solutions, allowing them to reduce container loss, in addition to providing container rental solutions that cut costs, require less freight and eliminate the use of precious capital."

Throughout the recession, succeeding companies learned valuable lessons that will carry them into the future. Among the key lessons learned were the importance of customer service and the need to continuously improve.

"At CAPS, customers are our top priority," said Wiedmaier. "We succeed by exceeding the expectations of our clients and retaining their business and loyalty. I believe one of the other major factors in successfully pulling through the recession was our continued investment in people, processes and technology. By continuing to innovate, companies like ours will continue to improve efficiency, stay sharp and be ready to provide cutting edge solutions as the market recovers."

Since 1998, CAPS has provided returnable container rental and asset management solutions to the industries it services throughout North America. To learn more about CAPS’ suite of products and services, visit www.UseCAPS.com.
