Packaging manufacturer
Making early progress with a strategic partnership
This manufacturer is a leading European provider of customer specific packaging solutions. When the company sold off its transport capabilities in 2006, it had very particular standards in mind for whoever took over their contract: they chose TDG.
Operating across 10 manufacturing locations in the UK and encompassing the full paper lifecycle activity, TDG transport a broad range of products each with differing requirements and challenges. Today, the operation involves 110 vehicles, 350 trailers and over 40,000 loads each year.
Delivering real benefits and investing in the future
- Integrating the transport operation into TDG’s existing high cube transport fleet offers an additional 7% in volume thus improving load density and reducing miles travelled
- TDG has invested in 8 walking floor vehicles to speed up the collection of loose papers and unsold newsprint
- Using its air, road and sea freight forwarding capability TDG transports c. 100 trailers loads per week of recycled materials into Europe
“The contract has got off to a really good start. We’re impressed with the results to date, and TDG’s expertise has really helped us implement more integrated processes across our business.”
