By offering a wider range of foldable plastic IBCs (e.g. footprint, volume, adapted to different transport media) we want to gain market share and replace non-efficient transport packaging where it is possible.
HOREN has a full fleet of different IBCs with a very high folding ratio (up to 4:1) and very good load capacity. Now we want to provide an alternative to other fluid transport packaging options where possible and where it makes sense.

supply chain is vital to delivering the highest quality fresh produce to family plates across Australia and overseas.
The business utilises a mix of CHEP platforms, including reusable plastic containers (RPCs), bins and wooden pallets to maximise the efficiencies in moving produce between farms, pack houses, and supermarkets.
Focusing on continuous improvement in their operations and unlocking further efficiencies, Qualipac with the support of CHEP identified an opportunity to move from a hand wrapping operation to a machine pallet wrapping solution. This solution helped improve load stability, reduce damage, unlock cost savings and improve safety performance.
The Solution
To progress this opportunity in their supply chain, Qualipac and CHEP worked together, going through the following phases involved in the development of a tailored load containment and pallet wrapping solution:
+ Learn – Working together, CHEP evaluated Qualipac’s current load containment system to understand their needs and desired outcomes.
+ Analyse – The CHEP team provided comparisons of Qualipac’s current equipment and processes with recommendations.
+ Implement – CHEP supported the planning and deployment of Qualipac’s preferred solution.
+ Maintain – Once the system was up and running, CHEP managed all of Qualipac’s maintenance and wrap inventory needs.
As part of the load containment and pallet wrapping solution, the CHEP team supported Qualipac with equipment selection, procurement, installation, maintenance, and the machine pallet wrap film. Based on consultations and tests including a cut and weigh procedure, the CHEP Lantech Q300 Semi Auto Tall Mast was implemented with specially selected machine film.
Mr Qualischefski said, “CHEP’s platforms help us achieve efficient, profitable and sustainable product movements. We have also been able to unlock even greater efficiencies with high-quality stretch wrapping. The platforms and solutions from CHEP supports our fast turnaround times, reduces the total cost of every product load we wrap, plus complements our sustainable farming practices and focus on superior produce quality across the supply chain.”
