CHEP and Eurofresh Farms Bolster Relationship.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- CHEP, the global leader in pallet and container pooling services, today announced the signing of a new long-term contract with Eurofresh Farms, the nation's largest grower of greenhouse produce. Eurofresh uses CHEP pallets to transport tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers from its Willcox and Snowflake, Arizona facilities to supermarket retailers and wholesale clubs across the United States.

Prior to converting exclusively to CHEP in 2002, Eurofresh used one-way disposable pallets to transport product to market. The company made the switch to CHEP to address customer requests for a higher quality, more consistent pallet. Eurofresh also wanted to improve the impact it was having on the environment.

"CHEP provides us with an easy-to-use shipping platform solution that our customers prefer and that is environment-friendly. We have also seen significant productivity improvements with the CHEP program and enjoy working with their highly professional team," said Kees Rodenburg, General Manager of Eurofresh Farms.

Based on third-party Life-Cycle Inventory Analysis findings, Eurofresh is reducing solid waste generation by more than 1.9 million pounds per year, the equivalent of about 84 dump trucks of waste as a result of using the CHEP program as opposed to one-way wood pallets. The company is also reducing energy usage enough to power 155 homes with electricity for a year, and is contributing a 56% reduction of CO2 emissions-greenhouse gas, which is the equivalent to taking more than 89 cars off the road for one year.*

"Eurofresh Farms is on the forefront of technology in many areas of its operations, including climate control and supply chain productivity. CHEP is pleased to be helping the company add environmental sustainability to that list," said Tim Smith, Vice President, New Business Development, CHEP.
