The Goodpack Automotive Solution
Various forms of Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC) are employed in the automotive industry for in-country transportation, logistics and handling of automotive parts in the automotive supply chain. Because of challenges of global repositioning of empty and loaded Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC), a substantial volume of automotive parts for export markets are packed in various non-IBC packing, such as wood pallets and wooden crates. Such non-IBC packing lacks strength, security, economics and environment-friendly characteristics of IBC packing.
Goodpack® is the global leader in Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC) with our global network serving more than 50 countries. We operate an open global pooling system for our Intermediate Bulk Containers where customers can rent and return our IBC almost anywhere in the world. We are able to do this because our IBC is versatile to carry many different products from our large export-oriented customer base, with and without packing accessories. Our open global pooling system is much more flexible and cost-effective compared to the closed loop system employed by our competitors.
Goodpack® offers probably the most cost-effective solution for export markets of automotive parts with our MB5 IBC – fully collapsible IBC with 1 removable side. Our MB5 can be used with ``Parts-in-IBC`` model where parts are put bare with separators in our IBC. Or our MB5 can be used in ``Box-in-Box`` model where carton boxes of parts are loaded into our IBC.
The Goodpack® Automotive Solution offers customers the following benefits:
- Pay As You Use: With our Trip Rental (Point A to Point B) model for Goodpack® IBC, our customer pays only for the journey from parts packing point to parts discharging point.
- Pay One Way: Our customers do not have to operate a closed loop system with our Intermediate Bulk Containers and incur the costs of backhaul freight of empty IBC and IBC idle time during repositioning.
- Scalable: With our large high-growth global pool of IBC, we are better positioned to meet the growth demands of our customers.
- Damage Protection: Our MB5 is made of steel and constructed to withstand heavy loading and rugged handling in multi-modal transportation and supply chain activities.
- Efficient Transportation: 16 units of our MB5 fit snugly into a 20 ft seafreight container and helps customers to achieve optimum balance of weight and volume of seafeight container and fast loading and unloading, and to eliminate the need for dunnaging and transit damage.
