The new dynamics of foodservice distribution

With headquarters in Wisconsin, Germany and Mexico, ORBIS has long been a steward of sustainability. Drawing upon more than 175 years of material handling expertise and 70 years of plastics innovations, ORBIS helps its world-class customers move their products faster, safer and more cost-effectively with reusable totes, pallets, containers, dunnage and racks.

During this podcast, Lochmann explains foodservice distribution, specifically Bulk Milk Systems and the ability to load, transport, and deliver milk to retailers with one complete system. But there’s other benefits like saving space, the cost of labor, trucking and more.

During this podcast, Lochmann discusses:

• The benefits of Bulk Milk Systems and how this system works to promote a circular economy where materials never become waste and nature is regenerated.
• The new dynamics of foodservice distribution and the challenges of cold-chain distribution since dairy products like milk and ice cream need to be delivered cold.
• The company’s packaging life-cycle assessments and why its customers are implementing reusable and single-use packaging to help protect the planet?
• The percentage of cost savings, space savings and transportation savings that the dairy processor can generate from using a Bulk Milk System.
• The globalized supply chain and the impact of tariffs on ingredients and packaging materials that are imported and exported from all over the world. DF
