Goodpack’s Eric Grégoire (l) and CEVA Logistics’ Xavier Urbain believe that TYRECUBE, an intelligent reusable container, can be the world’s best global solution for the storage and movement of tires.
loading of tires has been a very labor-intensive and manual process, with minimal automation and little visibility. TYRECUBE as transport and storage module helps avoid loose loading and provides a better protection of the tires. TYRECUBE works for approximately 90% of all tire types.
“We believe that by working in close collaboration with Goodpack, we can develop TYRECUBE into the world’s best global solution for the storage and movement of tires,” states Xavier Urbain, CEVA Logistics’ CEO. “The exciting part of this alliance is the scope it has for delivering across multiple vertical markets, from aviation through to passenger cars, motorbikes, trucks, off-road vehicles and industrial and agricultural equipment. We have the opportunity to revolutionize what is a traditional process by introducing a single, common container handling unit throughout the supply chain which will significantly improve process efficiency, product protection and visibility. We are convinced that this new innovative solution will bring a lot of value to the customers.”
“We are very excited to form this partnership with a market-leader like CEVA Logistics,” adds Eric Grégoire, Goodpack’s CEO. “By bringing our core competencies together, we are proposing much-needed innovation for the tire industry, enabling us to address some of its biggest issues, such as quality, traceability, workplace hygiene and ergonomics, and all at a lower cost. Together we will modernize this industry and bring it into the digital world by leveraging, sharing and pooling our assets within this alliance.”
