Onken produces a range of chilled dairy
products, including the award winning BIOPOT
yogurt. The company entered the UK market
in 1988 and was an immediate success. Dr.
Oetker acquired the Onken brand in 2004.
With over one million cases of yogurts, desserts
and mousses despatched every month, an effective
and robust pallet supply chain solution is
vital for delivering the chilled short shelf
life products.
The operation uses standard UK size pallets,
which will be supplied from IPP Logipal's
Newport location to the distribution centre
in Gloucester. Over 100,000 one-way pallet
trips will be made a year to retailers and
wholesalers across the UK.
The service provides a high quality and cost
effective solution for Dr. Oetker with quality
control checks and is measured against a
set of agreed key performance indicators
(KPIs).
Head of Supply Chain at
Dr. Oetker UK, Rachael Lorman, comments: " After
looking at the major pallet rental companies,
IPP Logipal stood out with its highly reputable
service. It is competitively priced with a
simple yet effective implementation plan. "With our fresh chilled foods having a
relatively short shelf life, we need a quality
and reliable pallet provider." She adds: "Working with IPP Logipal is
highly cost effective and is also significantly
reducing the amount of administration we do."
