After pilot-testing Smartstak, developed by Loadhog, the Sheffield-based supply chain innovator, one of Australia's largest glass manufacturers has specified the revolutionary and patented glass bottle transporting system as the standard method of conveying containers between its Australian and New Zealand operations.
Loadhog opened up the Australian market in 2009 by securing almost £2m in sales to Amcor, after investing almost £1/2m in moulding tools to produce bespoke Smartstak components for the leading global glass packaging manufacturer.
Launched in 2007, the Queen's Award-winning Smartstak system comprises the Smartpad, an injection moulded, waved edge layer pad, and a spring loaded Smartframe, which work together to prevent the collapse of bottle packs during transportation or storage.
