Wayne, PA – March 16, 2020 – Elemica, the leading cloud-based Digital Supply Network for global manufacturing industries, announces that three top-level executives have been named Provider Pros to Know by Supply and Demand Chain Executive (SDCE) magazine.

Reach out to our 2020 recipients and engage with them, ask questions and seek feedback. The supply chain profession is a community with a commitment to excellence that should not be overlooked.”

David Cahn heads up Global Marketing at Elemica.
