Pallet boxes go the distance
October 1st 2006 Weston EU, manufacturer of seating structure components for aircraft, recently decided to set up a new factory in Thailand after ascertaining it was a more economical option than production in the UK.
This new location posed some logistical challenges as components had to be shipped thousands of miles from Thailand to its customer in the UK. An extremely safe and reliable packaging solution had to be found to ship the goods on this long journey. Schoeller Arca Systems was the first choice to provide the specialist containers.
The Schoeller Arca System's range of Magnum folding pallet boxes, including its exclusive 1200mm high version, was ideal. Manufactured from expanded Polypropylene, which is 100% recyclable, the box offers its contents excellent protection from impact and the elements. It isn't airtight, therefore, a flow of air prevents 'sweating' during transit.
Peter Lowther, project manager for Weston EU gave three packaging companies, including, Schoeller Arca Systems, a detailed brief.
After viewing their thorough presentation, Peter stated, "Schoeller Arca Systems' custom solution was by far the best – they totally fulfiled the brief and no question was left unanswered. I was very confident in the team's ability to meet the timescale and deliver great products and service." More articles from Arca Systems Limited: |
