Bonduelle: Gniewkowo, Poland
Yale trucks help Bonduelle stay cool under pressure
Yale industry experts understand the challenges associated with moving perishable goods in food applications and the demands that operating in cold environments place on materials handling equipment.
This understanding has been a key part in
the successful relationship between Yale
dealer Emtor and the Bonduelle vegetable
factory in Gniewkowo, Poland.
Processing around 30,000 tonnes of
vegetables annually, the main output of
the company’s Gniewkowo factory is frozen
produce. Bonduelle vegetables undergo
a long, complex process of washing,
blanching, and tunnel freezing before they
are ready to reach the consumer’s table
and proven, efficient materials handling
processes play a crucial role in ensuring
the smooth running of the factory.
The factory’s current fleet consists of
40 long-term rental Yale trucks, supplied
by national dealer, Emtor, who have been
providing Yale equipment to the factory
for over 10 years.
Emtor carefully consider the needs of the
application and continue to work closely with
Bonduelle to ensure the rental trucks are
ideally suited to the operating environment.
The working conditions onsite vary from
refrigeration environments (0-4°C) to
dedicated cold stores where the temperatures
can drop down to -18°C, therefore customised
solutions are needed to prepare the equipment
for temperature-controlled environments.
