Atlas Wholesale Food Company received both the 2009 Golbon Logistics Services Award and the 2009 Distributor of the Year Award. Chief Operating Officer Mike Kotsis accepted the awards for his third generation family business. “We are honored to win these awards over the 160 Golbon members from across the country,” said Kotsis. “It’s great to be recognized for all the hard work we’ve done over the past few years, even in a very tough economy.”

Kotsis described the awards as:
• The Ernest J. Voigt Distributor of the Year Award, named for the founder, is the most distinguished award presented by Golbon. Atlas was honored for increasing purchases by 34 percent.
• The Logistics Services Award Presented to Atlas for their creative and efficient use on both inbound and outbound shipments.
