Pure Flavor, IFCO partnership ensures year-round delivery of fresh produce
IFCO and Pure Flavor developed a forecasting model that tracks the company’s produce orders and growing seasons and ensures on-time delivery of the right number and type of RPCs throughout the year.
Pure Flavor’s use of IFCO reusable plastic containers (RPCs) has made a positive impact for the Canada-based, vertically integrated provider of fresh produce products. In fact, after six years of collaboration, Pure Flavor’s use of IFCO RPCs now includes packaging for a wide range of products such as tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and eggplants.
“IFCO is a valuable partner,” says Jason Veno, packaging operations manager for Pure Flavor. “Not only do they provide us with ‘smart packaging’ that protects and cools our products extremely well, [but] they [also] maximize our operational efficiency by ensuring we have an adequate supply of RPCs year-round, even during peak growing seasons. That predictability means we can continue to serve our customers and their shoppers efficiently, effectively and on time.”
