Brewery
The Scenario
Excelerate was enlisted to assess the supply chain operation of this major global brewery, with the goal of substantially minimizing flexible packaging waste, mitigating product damage during transit, and enhancing workplace safety, all while causing minimal disruption to their existing processes. This encompassed addressing issues related to condensation in their pallet loads, which led to wet boxes and damaged goods.
Highlighted Issues:
Plastic Usage Not Aligning with Sustainability
High Costs To Wrap a Pallet
Using Lock & Pop Interlayer Glue for Stability
Unstable Pallets & Crushed Shelf Ready Boxes
Using Cardboard Interlayer Sheets
Condensation Issues Causing Damages
The Results
With ongoing collaboration with Excelerate, this brewery has experienced substantial enhancements to their packaging procedures. Their loads now exhibit complete stability, with a notable reduction in material usage and associated costs. The elimination of lock and pop glue has alleviated back strain during manual pallet unloading. Additionally, they have adopted our GripControl sheets to augment load stability. The implementation of ExcelAir perforated pallet wrap has completely eradicated condensation from the loads, seamlessly integrating with their existing machinery.
Resolved Issues:
Plastic Usage Reduced by 85%
Costs Reduced by 71%
Lock & Pop Glue Eliminated
Cardboard Replaced with GripControl
Perfect Pallet Stability, No Crushed Boxes
Condensation Completely Eradicated
