All-packaging June 2012 IBC management at home is noticeable all over the world! A significant part of the paint manufacturer Sherwin-Williams' production of paint for customers around the world takes place in Eksjö in Småland and in Märsta outside Stockholm. Seemingly simple and smart solutions at Swedish home, thus have a large and global impact. This also applies to the handling of IBC containers, which with All-packaging's holistic thinking resulted in major environmental, economic and logistical benefits. The well-known Swedish paint manufacturer Becker Acroma has been owned by worldwide Sherwin-Williams for some years. The Group's production of paint for protection and beautification of houses and homes is largely concentrated in Sweden. Specifically to the factories in Eksjö and in Märsta. Paint has been manufactured here for both the consumer market and industry for more than a hundred years. A growing IBC mountain Handling and delivery of raw materials and inputs for paint production takes place with the help of IBCs. For many years, this meant constantly filling empty and used IBC containers in the factories' courtyards. In step with the company's success and growth, the stock of IBCs increased, which meant that it occasionally had large financial assets "parked" on the factory farms, at the same time as they posed an environmental challenge. Management and logistics to keep the courtyards somewhat so when "clean" from used and empty containers worked poorly - practically as well as financially. New smart flow After some years of discussing and evaluating a complete solution from All-emballage, Sherwin-Wiiliams has now established a smart flow of IBC containers "in and out". Empty containers are picked up and reconditioned by All-packaging and reinserted in Sherwin-Williams' IBC feed. If at All-emballage's inspection it is deemed necessary, the inner packaging and other vital parts are replaced before re-insertion. Jonas Esping, All-emballage, responsible for the solution: - Sherwin-Williams has created an efficient and very good total solution that completely harmonizes with their manufacturing process and the requirements for economy and environment. With All-emballage's holistic approach and Sherwin-Williams' deep insight into today's and tomorrow's logistics requirements, we have together developed a solution that involves the right number of IBCs at the right time and in the right place! Schütz Allemballage AB is the Nordic region's largest player in the area of reconditioning of IBC containers. Last year alone, we handled over 80,000 IBCs in our modern facility in Jordbro, outside Stockholm. Specially trained and knowledgeable staff - both in the facility and in the field - is a guarantee that each reused IBC container will be a plus in the customer's income statement .
