Des Moines, IA, August 27, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Jacobson Companies has been named to the 2010 Top 85 3PL list by Food Logistics, a leading publication dedicated to covering the movement of product through the food supply chain.

The Top 85 3PL is a listing of third-party logistics providers that are helping food, beverage and CPG companies gain a competitive logistical advantage. Their goal with the Top 85 3PL listing is to highlight a broad range of 3PL services targeted at the food industry, addressing the needs of companies of varying sizes that make up the food supply chain.

"Food distribution is a very complex business and 3PLs play a crucial role in the supply chain," explained Katherine Doherty, editor-in-chief of Food Logistics magazine.
