Lowe's recognizes Georgia Ports for excellence in supply chain execution and innovation at its Supply Chain Summit in Charlotte, N.C.
Lowe's Companies, Inc. has named Georgia Ports its Supply Chain Impact Partner of the Year. Lowe's presented the award at its Supply Chain Summit in Charlotte, N.C. The honor recognizes the Georgia Ports Authority (GPA) for reliable cargo execution, supply chain innovation, and dependable inland port service supporting the retailer's network.
Lowe's is a FORTUNE 100 home improvement company based in Mooresville, N.C., with fiscal year 2025 sales of more than $86 billion. A retailer of that scale depends on port partners that keep goods moving on schedule and protect commitments to customers across its market.
Lowe's cited three areas that set Georgia Ports' service apart. First, the port delivered dependable execution with no supply chain disruptions to Lowe's cargo. Second, it advanced supply chain innovation through customized solutions designed around Lowe's specific needs. Third, its inland port service provided consistency and resiliency throughout Lowe's network.
Together, these results show how a port partner can reduce risk and strengthen reliability for high-volume cargo owners. Consistent performance at the waterfront and on inland moves supports steady inventory flow, predictable transit, and stronger planning across the supply chain.
"We look forward to working closely with Lowe's to ensure we constantly improve their supply chain efficiency at the port and on inland moves," said Georgia Ports President Kevin Price.
Flavio Batista, Georgia Ports' Chief Commercial Officer, added, "We appreciate this award and its reflection on our GPA Team efforts serving one of the nation's largest home improvement retailers. Our focus has been on Lowe's day-to-day business, looking for ways to innovate their supply chain and ensure resiliency in their operations."
Georgia Ports salutes Lowe's leadership for bringing its supply chain vendors together to recognize strong performers. The summit also strengthened the partnerships that help business flow better for retailers, carriers, and logistics providers alike.
Georgia Ports also announced the Lowe's award recognition at GPA's State of the Port of Savannah event on October 14, 2026, before an audience of 1,700 people. The recognition reinforces a clear message for cargo owners and their logistics partners. Reliable execution, tailored solutions, and resilient inland connections are not just operational achievements. They are the foundation of long-term supply chain partnerships.
