WESTERVILLE, Ohio -- Exel, the leading contract logistics services provider in the Americas, today announced that its Dallas distribution center earned Kellogg Company's Top Gun award for 2006. It is the second consecutive year an Exel operation received the award, which recognizes excellence in the daily execution of Kellogg's business.

The Top Gun award is presented each year to the operation that accumulates the most points on a scorecard of Kellogg's critical customer service and performance measures. The award was created to recognize excellence in service, cost, quality and innovation; promote goal congruence with Kellogg; and, facilitate greater dialogue among Kellogg, its distribution centers and providers on key issues. Exel received the award in the full-service warehouse category.

The entire Dallas team focused on the proper application of people, processes and technology to deliver the consistent performance it takes to win this award."
