Green seems to be the theme lately for the Santa Monica-based company CaseStack, Inc.
Employees from CaseStack, an integrated logistics provider, were among the 50 community members to win free Giant Cypress bikes from the BikeTown USA program, made possible by Bicycling Magazine, LA County Bicycle Coalition and the LA County Metropolitan Transportation Authority Metro (MTA).
Along with their new bikes, each winner received their own cycling gear, apparel and/or support from Bell Sports, Camelbak, Canari Cycling, CatEye, Ryders Sunglasses and Saris Racks.
In an effort to promote a better environment and a healthier lifestyle for their employees, Jeff Albert, along with Roger Lum, Jason Wolfe and John Ondo, entered the contest. The participating CaseStack employees were asked to write about what they would do with the bikes if they won, and how they would use them to get to work.
Dan Sanker, CEO and president of CaseStack, encouraged the company’s involvement in BikeTown because “it is the perfect fit for the direction our company is headed.” CaseStack has also focused their efforts on improving the environment through the Green Rebate program, which encourages truck drivers to use environmentally friendly biodiesel fuel.
CaseStack, Inc. provides logistics outsourcing services to mid-sized consumer packaged goods companies that sell products to retailers, distributors and other manufacturers. CaseStack combines an advanced transportation and warehousing system with proprietary, Web-based software to provide end-to-end fulfillment services that enable customers to reap the benefits and economies of a sophisticated, global logistics system without all the infrastructure costs.
