Ultima chooses CHEP

FROM THE MM&D JULY/AUGUST 2011 PRINT EDITION: Longueuil, Quebec-based Ultima Foods Inc has signed a contract to transport its products on pallets from CHEP, a provider of pallet and container pooling solutions. Ultima, which produces and distributes yogurt and fresh dairy products, will now ship Yoplait yogurt and other fresh dairy products on CHEP pallets from the company’s plant in Granby, Quebec to stores and foodservice operators across Canada. Ultima says it previously used a pallet exchange system that had increasing inspection, repair and replacement costs.
