Following a robust selection process, CEVA was recognized for its excellence in the Logistics category.
According to CEVA's Global Key Account Director Jurrie-Jan Tap, "CEVA has operations in five continents contributing to Eaton's success and we are very proud to be selected amongst this year's winners.
