Our unique expertise in pool management has made us market leader in the European RPC management services business.
Every day, we move up to 3.5 million reusable plastic containers in 43 countries. This means up to 420 truckloads a day.
We supply over 5,500 producers and handle up to 1,5 million deliveries a day.
We carry out disposal work for more than 1,800 distribution centres and make more than 2 million collections a day.
We offer our service in a market that is characterised by seasonal fluctuations and the impact of weather conditions, and is therefore difficult to plan.
Products and cultivation areas change season by season throughout the year. Many fruit and vegetables are produced in Southern Europe and consumed in Central and Northern Europe.
In this environment, the service of IFCO SYSTEMS consists of providing the right quantity of the right RPCs in the right place throughout Europe.
As fruit and vegetables are perishable goods, prompt delivery, just-in-time at harvest, is therefore an absolute must for our customers.
It is equally important to dispose of empties quickly and easily for our trading partners, as storage space is scarce and valuable.
Pool management for fruit and vegetable RPCs therefore requires unique expertise in terms of planning, forecasting, management, organisation and logistical processing as well as cost efficiency.
This is our core competence, which we use to create added value for the goods cycles of our customers every day!
