Charles Tuck Honored with Lifetime Achievement Award from Food Logistics

RALEIGH, N.C. — March 19, 2024 — Charles Tuck, Ndustrial Co-Founder and SVP of Energy & IoT Solutions, has been named by Food Logistics as a 2024 Rock Star of the Supply Chain in the Lifetime Achievement category.

Tuck has led the deployment of real-time energy intensity monitoring at over 400 cold chain facilities globally over the past 10 years, including over 170 facilities in a time span of less than 7 months. These include sites from Mexico to New Zealand to Vietnam. 

In the process, Charles has not only built and trained his team to deploy these solutions, but also identified and trained qualified contractors all around the world, with an eye toward capacity building and developing lasting relationships.

“I am honored to get this award,” says Tuck, “and more importantly I’m honored to work with such a dedicated team of energy experts who have persisted in the face of language barriers, huge time zone differences and big learning curves to deploy these technologies across the globe.”

The Rock Stars of the Supply Chain awards recognize influential individuals in the food logistics industry whose vision and achievements have shaped the global cold food supply chain. As energy and sustainability continue to rise in importance for cold chain operations around the world, Charles’ work is more impactful today than ever before.

“Supply chain rock stars are the backbone of the cold food chain. The words used to describe many of this year’s winners range from collaborative, passionate, innovative and forward-thinking to inspired, driven and dependable,” says Marina Mayer, editor-in-chief of Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive. “New this year, we broke the award down into four distinct categories: Top Warehousing Stars; Top Shippers; Rising Stars; and Lifetime Achievement. These winners continue to go above and beyond to improve food safety, enhance efficiency and disrupt supply chain disruptions.”
