"With this project we were able to reduce the total cost of ownership. We not only found the best protection for the component but we also reduced the transport cost and our (sustainable) carbon footprint. This makes me very happy for the customer and very proud."

One of our customers has a long distance logistic loop to transport door panels from Slovakia to Poland.

Given the travel distance our engineers immediately proposed to go for a foldable solution, which would generate a lot of savings in transport cost and CO2 exhaust in the return transport of empties. Our customer consider the re-use of some existing non-foldable packaging system, but a TCO calculation immediately demonstrated that even with a significant invest in new racks he would save much more money than with the re-use of an old non-foldable design. As a bonus we enabled the customer to reduce his carbon footprint significantly.

Our design ticked all the boxes: re-usable, highest density on a mega trailer, optimum part protection, easy handling, and a return ratio for the empties of 3:10.
