Quantix recently received four safety and service awards from Dow.
The chemical supply chain services company’s liquid transportation division earned Dow’s Gold Safety Award, S4TAR Award, and Above and Beyond Award; and Quantix’s third-party logistics division received the Silver Safety Award.
“That’s the most any carrier’s ever gotten from them at one time,” Chris Ball, Quantix president and CEO, told Bulk Transporter.
Quantix received the awards during Dow’s North America Road Conference in October. The annual conference and awards ceremony recognizes road carriers for their dedication to safety and service with handling Dow materials.
“Dow takes safety very seriously, and we look to work with carriers who prioritize it in the same way we do,” said Lori Pavlish, senior transportation safety and security manager at Dow. “That includes adhering to stringent industry standards such as the American Chemistry Council’s Responsible Care initiative.
“Dow and our partners have set the bar high for safety excellence, and rewarding our carriers for their work in this regard is equally important to us and them.”

The Gold Safety Award, which Quantix received for the second consecutive year, means its liquid team had no serious, moderate, or minor carrier-caused transportation incidents from July 2021 to July 2022. The Silver Safety Award means the carriers provided by 3PL Solutions had no serious or moderate incidents, and no more than one carrier-caused minor incident.
“Our teams work hard every day to ensure safety is at the forefront of all business activities,” said David Perry, president of the liquid division at Quantix. “We appreciate that Dow takes the time to recognize carriers for the importance of safety and are proud to be the recipient of four of its awards this year.”
The S4TAR award evaluates performance in the areas of safety, sustainability, social responsibility, and service. This past year, Quantix set a sustainability initiative with multi-year environmental goals, including converting 25% of its last-mile and drayage fleet to alternative fuel by 2030.
“Quantix continually invests in safety programming, including training, education and incentive programs for our employees, and we are committed to building our operations around sustainable practices,” Ball said.
“Being recognized by Dow for our success in these areas is a huge honor.”
