COLUMBUS, OH – Pioneer has been recognized by the DLA for efforts as one of the top 20 small business suppliers to support the Land and Maritime Material Cost Reduction Initiative for First Quarter of FY12.

“Your commitment in improving productivity and cost efficiencies in all areas – purchasing, overhead, administration, manufacturing, etc. and passing those cost reductions to DLA represents a critical role in our efforts to achieve at least a 10% reduction in procurement costs.”

Other contributing factors for Pioneer’s recognition include business ethics, integrity, and other overall performance factors.

Pioneer will continue to strive to meet and exceed future cost reduction on military initiatives.

COLUMBUS, OH -The DLA has awarded Pioneer two orders exceeding $1,000,000.00 for proximity switches. These requirements were initiated more than two years ago. Over that time period, Pioneer has successfully worked with the military to provision a manufacturer as sole source to build switches that meet the Navy’s complicated specifications. After the source was approved, Pioneer completed several rounds of negotiations with procurement activity.

Delivery is scheduled for early 2013.

This year more than 20 new manufacturers joined the program, putting their confidence in Pioneer to help handle their military spares distribution and fulfillment. Other reasons include Pioneer’s Research Team and Pioneer’s new inventory management program.
