White & Company Announces Unit Load Short Course
White & Company will be hosting its first annual unit load design short course September 26-28, 2023, at the Inn at Virginia Tech, in Blacksburg, Virginia. The course will be valuable for sellers, buyers and users of pallets and distribution packaging materials. Given the crucial role of unit loads in supply chains, the course will also interest logistics decision-makers.
By optimizing unit load design, overall packaging cost can be reduced while also reducing the risk of product damage and stability concerns that can pose safety risks and operational delays.
The course will be led by Dr. Marshall White, president of White & Company and professor emeritus at Virginia Tech, and Braden White, Executive Director of White & Company. The offering will also include a tour of the Center for Unit Load Design.
