Hellmann a significant
partner
The new equal-share marketing partnership between Hellmann
and Chilltainers in New Zealand and Australia, unifies
an expansive global perishable network with a unique thermal
packaging system which will directly challenge the use
of packaging grade expandable polystyrene.
The joint venture delivers the logistics coldchain capability
to get perishables from A to B in the most cost–effective,
efficient and environmentally friendly manner. The top line
benefit is that end-clients achieve top prices for their goods.
Hellmann New Zealand managing director, Chris McCagney
said, “Hellmann’s primary focus is on ensuring temperature
integrity and control at all points of the supply chain for New
Zealand’s leading blue chip exporters. Our customers are
becoming increasingly aware of the issues surrounding CO 2
emissions and carbon footprints. We believe it is critical to
invest in technology that can minimise the environmental impact
of air freighting high value products to distant markets.”
General manager for Hellmann Perishable Logistics New
Zealand, Murray Boxall, enlarged on the benefits. “Compared
to EPS, we can load up to 35% more in a typical LD3
airfreight container, which is an attractive proposition for
both the airline and our customers: carrying greater weight/
volume in a shipment with an effective reduction of carbon
footprint. The savings are not just in the air - lower volumes
mean reduced use of road transport through fewer shipments
and allows additional capacity with no additional storage/refrigeration/vehicles.”
For Hellmann, healthcare and pharmaceutical materials is
a growing market segment. Chilltainers are perfect for this
market and look set to deliver huge growth.
Chilltainers technology is becoming increasingly commercially
attractive with the world’s focus turning to sustainability.
See how food innovators are
combining New Zealand science and
technology with world leading
manufacturing to develop and
commercialise food ideas for markets
here and around the world.
