The Queen knows a smart stack
June 1st 2009 Sheffield-based Smartstak, a
division of Loadhog, has
won a 2009 Queen's Award
for innovation for its glass
bottle transportation and
storage system.
Launched in 2007, the
patented Smartstak System
comprises an injection
moulded, waved edge layer
pad and a spring loaded
Smartframe which work
together to prevent the
collapse of bottle packs
during transportation or
storage.
Loadhog says the product
is securing orders in both
the UK and Australia.
Smartstak is currently
transporting over 850
million bottles annually,
delivering reduced
breakages, improved trailer
fill and cost reductions.
"We are extremely proud
to have received this
wonderful accolade," says
Dave Arthur, operations
manager of Smartstak. "It is
a testimony to the
professionalism of our
design and manufacturing
staff and to the faith shown
in the system by our
customers." More articles from Loadhog Ltd: |
