- RFID Global Solution, Inc. David Eagleson, 410-544-4087 Vice-President of Sales and Marketing Dave.eagleson@rfidgs.com RFID Global Solution (RFIDGS) and Franwell, two of the world's top RFID solution providers, announced today that they have formed a strategic alliance wherein the companies will develop active, passive, and global positioning system-based RFID solutions for Fortune 100 companies in cold chain management, fresh foods,
consumer product goods, aerospace and defense, manufacturing, life sciences, and government sectors.
"We are a great fit for one another," said RFIDGS President and CTO Joe Leone, "with complementary expertise. I am particularly enthused about Franwell's experience in pharma, retail, agriculture and perishable food. In turn, we're proud to offer RFIDGS's expertise in aerospace, defense and government. Between the two companies, I believe there's not a Fortune 100 company that is out of our scope or expertise."
"Joined together, we offer about 220 years of direct industry experience," explained Franwell President and CEO Jeff Wells. "This alliance will be a force multiplier for both companies, and for our clients. Among those 220 years, I doubt there's an asset tracking or supply chain challenge that one of us hasn't tackled."
In seeking partners, Leone says he sought an organization of thought leaders. Franwell contributes to the development of the RFID lab at the University of Florida, and operates a comprehensive RFID laboratory at its headquarters. "So they are doers, with customers like H.D. Smith, NASCAR and H & M Bay, but they are thinkers as well."
In addition to our consulting, integration and development services, both companies also offer turnkey solutions, including the RFID SmartTable(TM), SmartCart(TM) from RFIDGS, and the RFID Commissioning (Shipping) and Compliance Cart Solution from Franwell.
