Lakewood, NJ - February 22, 2019 - UNEX Manufacturing, Inc., the trusted industry leader in providing innovative order picking solutions, announces that SpeedCell Product Manager, Brian Chan, has been named a 2019 Provider Pros to Know from Supply & Demand Chain Executive magazine.

Brian was selected for his strong business leadership, interpersonal skills and dedication to customer service, helping customers adopt and implement UNEX's high-density storage solution, SpeedCell.

"Businesses today, especially e-commerce companies, are taxed with keeping up with order demand, the fulfillment of orders, and SKU proliferation, without having to add additional warehouse space," said Brian C. Neuwirth, President of UNEX Manufacturing. "Brian Chan came to UNEX in our SpeedCell acquisition and he has been instrumental in promoting the revolutionary storage system and acquiring new customers who are able to multiply storage capacities up to 60% with SpeedCell."
