Plastic crates reach 100 million

Fibre King Pty Ltd
Tuesday, 06 July, 2010


Fibre King Crate Erectors have been used to erect nearly 100 million returnable plastic crates since their launch in 2006.

Developed in partnership with the fresh produce industry, they have proved reliable. The major benefits to fresh produce suppliers have been labour savings and reduced repetitive strain injury. With fewer people needed to manually erect crates, staff resources are better used in quality control and product quality increases.

The Fibre King RPC Erector was introduced to coincide with strong growth of folding returnable plastic crates in the Australian market.

Fibre King has expanded the RPC range beyond erectors with ancillary equipment that includes stackers, palletisers and full wash plant automation.
