Why should a wholesaler / importer buy pink wine in the Cargolite packaging concept ? Cargolite and Afrex train to answer this head by let the middleman / importer experience the benefits at first hand when they buy roses from Afrex , Kenya .

Now , Afrex will offer this welfare on airfreight savings , to Afrex customer old and fresh " , says John Kowarsky , CEO of Cargolite . This jump promotion movement will be launched at the IFTF expo this week , together with their half cartons .

Afrex in KenyaFor more than two ten , Afrex has been exporting blossom and agricultural products from South Africa to many parts of the public . More lately , they place up a facility in Kenya , from which they will ship rose from specific farms . As they are so pleased with the Cargolite concept and convinced of the benefits , they will offer part of the savings on airfreight to their customers .
Half cartonsWhen spill about middleman / importers , the Cargolite packaging concept is currently mostly used by repackers . " They import large volumes , open up the boxes , and repack it . " However , they also see possibility for the Cargolite construct for wholesalers / importer and therefore produced the so - called ' half cartonful ” . When have the prime pack in these half cartonful , wholesaler do not have to open them and can embark them right off to their customers . In this way , they can make utilization of the many advantage of the Cargolite construct , like minimize crushed box , more uniform carton , less manipulation , and therefore a honest - quality product . " The XL and half cartonful are fictile frame gratuitous enabling recycling of just one product- cartonful ! ! The fend for frame are now inside the carton .

Forwarder ’s supporting Cargolite packaging conceptAnother thing Kowarsky date happening in the industry is that progressively more forwarders are encouraging farm to palletize their blossom boxes , " About 5 years ago , we were the first to promote farm to palletize , now the vantage are being recognized by many . Handling for the forwarder for example is much less . When you palletize our cartons to 1.60 m high-pitched , they can go from the farm to the address without being raze . So , less manipulation means less labor , more efficiency , and resulting in a better - quality production . "

Carton supply is stable againOver the last two to three months in Kenya , Cargolite had some challenges with supplying composition board as the main Cargolite supplier ’s factory was bite down wholly . They had to go to other manufacturers which meant a price step-up , even though when calculating the price per stem , the cost was still on par with regular Kenyan cartons . " It gave us and our guest a hard clock time because on top of our prices which were gamy , the cost of all import ware in Kenya , including composition board , increased by 25 % due to a new levy en masse enforce by the Kenyan government . Fortunately , our producer is now back in production , bringing back the pricing to an satisfactory level . "
Cargolite embark the Ecuadorian marketIn an clause that was published in the beginning this twelvemonth , we name that the Cargolite concept is now in full commercial and available to local farms and international clients buy in Ecuador . Also , a go - down was set up in Tabacundo , Ecuador , last year , which supplies farm between Cayambe and Cotopaxi areas . To show how the conception works , they planned to hold a display in Miami in October , but due to the place in Israel , where Kowarsky and Zamir are base , leave Israel at the import is problematic . Now this presentation is plan to take topographic point after Valentine ’s Day 2024 .

" We see that we can better the logistics chain from the raiser to the customer and make unnecessary even more money . Hopefully , soon , we can trial it and come up with something entirely new in the Cargolite conception . "
