Leading returnable transit packaging (RTP) specialists PHS Teacrate, part of the renowned PHS Group, will be showcasing for the first time its impressive new range of plastic crates and materials handling solutions, at the IMHX Show at the NEC in Birmingham on March 19-22.
Following last year's purchase of tooling equipment from Rehrig, PHS Teacrate will be promoting at the logistics event the advantages of its plastic RTP crates and trays that are suitable for a wide variety of sectors, including food, retailing, pharmaceuticals and engineering.
Sure to attract the attention of visitors will be PHS Teacrate's 600x400mm attached lid containers produced in tough, durable polypropylene for maximum level of security and protection in both storage and distribution systems, while also on display at IMHX will be its nestable bale-arm trays which are suitable for fresh meat, processed meat, poultry, ready meals, fresh produce, frozen and chilled items.
The company will also be exhibiting plastic pallets and other material handling equipment ideal for any hygienic-driven environment. PHS Teacrate staff will be on hand to discuss value-added customer services, such as in-house integrated crate washing, crate pool management, delivery and collection from transport depots covering the entire country and a 24-hour online support and crate ordering facility.
Also available to take away at IMHX will be the innovative mini versions of PHS Teacrate's popular nestable bale arm trays, which cleverly presents the range's qualities for better handling, product protection and efficiency improvements which could potentially reduce costs.
Using plastic RTP removes wood, cardboard and other fibrous materials from food production promoting good hygiene with less risk of cross contamination. Plastic crates offer improved product protection during transportation because they are much more durable and stronger than single trip alternatives.
PHS Teacrate's National Sales Manager, Patrick Sheehy, is confident that the IMHX Show will enable even more companies to learn about its extensive range of products and aftersales service which he believes is second to none.
He said: "We are delighted to be exhibiting at IMHX where we are anticipating a great deal of interest, following our recent acquisition of the full range of Rehrig tooling to complement our own range. During the show we'll be showcasing a number of different crates specifically aimed at the food, retailing, pharmaceuticals and engineering sectors.
"A key part of our work will involve showing companies how they can save money, improve productivity and reduce downtime thanks to our flexible rental options, extensive depot network, crate washing and aftersales service."
PHS Teacrate offers particularly cost-effective solutions for seasonal goods, such as fresh produce and for peak periods, because of its popular dynamic pooling service, which saves on storage space and capital outlay. The company offers flexible terms for renting crates as well as the option to buy, even in bespoke colours and branding.
It handles millions of trays and crates every year, counting famous high street brands among its client base. PHS Teacrate also mounted a major operation supporting food companies involved in supplying the 2012 London Olympic Games.
