Gerber Juice Company, the UK’s leading supplier of fruit juice products, has devised an environmentally friendly and novel way of reducing transport costs.
Based at Bridgwater in Somerset, Gerber’s juice manufacturing facilities are the most advanced in the UK. Working in partnership with CHEP UK, who provide pallet and pooling systems globally, the two businesses have set up a unique sortation and repair facility. This has resulted in cost savings and substantially reduced the carbon footprint of both businesses.
