MEMPHIS, Tenn. – International Paper launched the OptiBin family of bulk bins for the poultry industry. Included in the launch are four different bin options, accommodating customer’s basic needs to extreme supply chain conditions.
International Paper packaging professionals test each bin type under a variety of conditions and assessments to ensure the optimal design and performance are achieved in a process termed, “Lab Tested. Field Approved.”
In addition to strong testing, the broad manufacturing and warehousing footprint of International Paper enables customers to order the bins they need, when they need them. This type of distribution network reduces capital tied up in the supply chain and provides a strong cost option for customers.
“We realize one bin does not fit all needs and that our customers have different operations and different supply chains,” said Jimmy Fielding, IP’s protein segment director, Container The Americas. “Keeping costs, sustainability and optimal performance always top of mind will ensure our bulk bins are not over or under engineered and close to where our customers need them. We work hard to provide our customers with the best total cost solution.”
In support of the poultry industry and to showcase the latest practical innovations for bulk bins, IP representatives will be exhibiting the OptiBin family of products at the International Poultry Expo being held Jan. 29-31 in Atlanta, Ga, Booth #6025.
