ISOCO Produces Twistlock Boxes for Vegetables and Fruits, Starts Production in China

ISOCO has agreed with CABKA on an exclusive sublicense for the Twistlock Boxes and the Winebox. With this step, ISOCO enters the market for logistic boxes for retailers. Sales Director Michael Müller comments: “The collapsible Twistlock boxes are optimal for transportation of vegetables and fruit. With the patented active lock design we can provide an extremely robust box, yet it ranks among the thinnest boxes in the market to reduce transportation cost. Production of the boxes has started already in Summer 2018 in Schmiedefeld, Thüringia. We see an immense demand for such products, especially in China and Southeast-Asia, this is why we’ve established a new production facility in Shenzhen, China. We are proud to be already supplying well-known brands in China and are now in the position to further fulfill the huge demands. The major retailers in China highly value our design and quality, and for using only imported food-grade raw material in our Chinese facility for optimal safety. We have already ordered a second production cell for China, so we will soon be able to quickly deliver large made-in-China quantities.“

ISOCO Establishes New Business Unit – Mold Manufacturing

 

To provide customers with more diverse solutions, ISOCO has recently established a new Business Unit (BU) dedicated to supplying custom injection molds designed, optimized and tested in Germany. However, to leverage a more economical model that could potentially benefit customers as well, the molds were chosen to be manufactured in China. Needless to say, the process requires the most stringent project management and supervision to ensure the same level of German standard qualities are delivered.

After successfully designing and producing more than 150 molds and smoothly running for up to 4 years with our partner in China and key-account customers, we are now ready to offer this option to all our customers.

To further elaborate the new business unit’s setup – in order to fully monitor and control the quality of the molds, experienced mold service engineers are stationed in Germany and provides timely support when required. Any additional sourcing is handled directly by ISOCO in Germany to minimize additional work involved and reduce any potential risks.

For those who are interested, please contact us directly to inquire more details.

ISOCO / ALPINA introduces High-load Light-weight Pallets at the Logimat 2017

Adding on to their position as leading producers of VDA certified KLTs, ISOCO and ALPINA took the opportunity to unveil their upcoming approaches and next generation products for the plastics industry at the Logimat 2017, on March 14-16, 2017 at the New Stuttgart Trade Fair Center in Germany.

Managing Director Harald Schweitzer commented: “After completing our product offerings in the KLT market with L-KLTs, F-KLTs, lids and covers, we are moving forward with the production of ALPINA Super-Light (SL) Pallets. The new generation of light-weight pallets with dimensions of 1200 x 800 mm and 1200 x 1000 mm offer next to very low weight and extraordinary mechanical strength due to our revolutionary Z-rib design. The pallets were loaded with 5 tons and they did not break! This is indeed very promising and we are planning to implement the design for all our new generation pallets. Our goal is to develop ISOCO / ALPINA into a full range pallet supplier, and the SL pallets are just the starting point. Currently, we are testing our H1 pallet mold. Later this year, we will build molds for Europallets and further extend our Super-Light (SL) Program.”
