ORLANDO, Florida. Intelligent Global Pooling Systems (iGPS Company, LLC) reveals that Ken’s Foods will begin shipping its retail products throughout the U.S. on iGPS’ all-plastic pallets with embedded radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, commencing in early 2011.
Ken’s Foods produces and packages over 400 varieties of dressings and sauces, including Ken’s Steakhouse Salad Dressings.
“Our decision to switch to iGPS was based on our desire to upgrade the quality of pallet carrying our products and to utilize a more environmentally sustainable solution than wood,” said Bob Merchant, Chief Operating Officer of Ken’s Foods, Inc. “iGPS’ solution fulfills both our objectives, and we know that our retail partners will appreciate this value enhancement to our supply chain.”
“We are delighted to welcome Ken’s Foods to the iGPS family,” says Bob Moore, Chairman and CEO of iGPS. “We are great fans of Ken’s products and are especially pleased that they will now ship on our pallet.”
In just three years of operation, iGPS has revolutionized the way goods are being shipped throughout the North American supply chain. Its 100 percent recyclable pallets are 30 percent lighter than pallets made of wood and are vastly better for the environment. Unlike wood pallets, iGPS pallets do not absorb fluids that can cross-contaminate food, and because they cannot harbor wood-boring insects, iGPS pallets never require treatment with toxic pesticides. Thanks to embedded RFID tags, shippers and receivers can track shipments throughout the supply chain.
