DS Smith launches transit pack company


DS Smith Plastics has set up a new company, DS Smith Replen, to provide bespoke returnable transit packaging (RTP) in the North West European retail distribution market.

The company has been formed through a restructuring of DS Smith's Kayserberg Plastics operation, which it said had created a more focused management structure to serve European market developments in RTP.


Replen aims to help manufacturers and retailers streamline their supply chain operations and reduce transport and replenishment costs.


Replen said it would shortly announce details of its first new product, K-Roll, which it described as a pallet in the supply chain and a dolly in the store - an integrated one-piece product for the international grocery distribution industry.


Replen, headed by managing director Peter Maple, is based in a new facility in Gloucester.
