Fresh savings

Green Bean
Schoeller Allibert has expanded its sales team with the appointment of David Bean, who will cover Scotland and the north-east of England.
With a background in the recycling and waste management industries, Schoeller Allibert’s environmental credentials were vital in David’s decision to join the company, as he explains: “Working for a responsible organisation is very important to me. Schoeller Allibert is a market leader in developing solutions that are not only fully recyclable, but can be made from recycled materials themselves and play a big part in reducing emissions in the supply chain for many sectors. This dedication to ‘green’ practices is what attracted me to the role.”
As part of the Schoeller Allibert team, David will have the opportunity to introduce customers to a range of tools developed by the company to help select the correct RTP and optimise vehicle fi ll. Additionally, he and the team offer an industry-fi rst site survey service, based on a full review of a customer’s supply chain from inbound supply, warehousing and on-site handling, to vehicle fi ll and outbound supply, which contribute to saving time, money and reducing the carbon footprint of their supply chain.
50 March 2014 A
dvance orders placed up to 28th March 2014 will be eligible for considerable cost savings, depending on
product and quantity chosen, with swift delivery from April to early May – just in time for early Spring produce.
Included in the promotion are Schoeller Allibert’s Maxinest produce trays – in fi ve sizes – ideal for most types of fruit and vegetables from broccoli and caulifl ower to apples and pears. The smaller and shallower trays in the Maxinest range are described as ideal for more delicate items like salads, herbs and tomatoes. Two models of the Geobox bulk containers are also included, and are particularly suited to potatoes and top fruit, while potato growers can benefi t from discounts on potato chitting trays. Also part of the Spring promotion are two models from Schoeller Allibert’s XLXS range – Europe’s fl attest-folding produce tray which maximises effi ciency on return transport. Designed specifi cally for fruit and vegetable distribution, with smooth edges to promote hygiene and prevent damage to produce, XLXS trays fold to only 28mm
high for greater vehicle fi ll – yet a stack of trays can still carry up to 160kg on the bottom container.
Simon Knights, regional sales director – UK & Ireland, explains: “It’s possible to stack more than 325 empty XLXS folding trays per standard UK pallet compared to the usual 180 nesting trays - leading to an 80% improvement in vehicle utilisation, fewer road miles and a reduction in the amount of storage space required. XLXS is therefore an effi cient and robust alternative to the cardboard containers which are still often used to import goods from Europe in the grocery sector. “Both XLXS and Maxinest trays are
designed to go from growers or processing facilities straight to supermarket shelves, reducing the need for double handling as well as cutting vehicle trips. Eliminating the time and money spent on repacking and reloading is a major advantage for the distribution industry and, together with the space-saving benefi ts, these are the main reasons we are seeing such high demand for our folding and nesting containers. Advance ordering enables us to manufacture these key products in bulk, resulting in cost savings which we’re able to pass on to customers this Spring.” n
