The White Company picks fit-to-size automated packaging
The brand is to adopt Quadient’s high speed fit-to-size auto-boxing system, the CVP Everest for its eCommerce operation.
The system is capable of a throughput of over 1,100 e-commerce packages per hour and will be installed in August at its fulfilment centre in Northampton, UK.
Rob Gascoigne, DC continuous improvement manager at The White Company, says: “To meet the uplift in e-commerce order volumes and to efficiently comply with new health and safety requirements brought on by the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, we decided to invest in an automated packaging technology that could not only deliver speed, but importantly, would present a sustainable packaging solution for the future. I’m happy to say that we found it in Quadient’s CVP Everest.”
The investment in the CVP Everest, the first commercial installation of this technology since its launch back in January 2020, will support the continued efforts of The White Company to reduce the environmental impact of its distribution centre and wider fulfillment and delivery operation as part of the wider sustainability journey.
Quadient EVP emerging operations Jérôme Vigier, adds: “We pride ourselves at Quadient on being an innovative and forward-thinking organisation, and are delighted to be supporting The White Company with a sustainable solution for its eCommerce channel.
"The CVP Everest is an innovation designed, created and built by our R&D teams in Drachten, Netherlands. It delivers on our promise to be the driving force behind the world’s most meaningful customer experiences, optimising all steps of package fulfillment in a sustainable manner and strengthening the customer experience.”
