One of Canada’s largest meat packing and food processing companies that is part of Canada’s largest cooperative is constantly evolving, acquiring new businesses, and expanding operations.
The company currently owns approximately 9,000 of Ultratainer’s specialized containers ranging from food-grade stainless steel baskets to a variety of other types of shipping containers and carts.
While Ultratainer’s container systems are extremely durable, they need maintenance and occasionally more comprehensive repairs.
The company was originally doing their own maintenance. The biggest challenges faced were that internal maintenance was not scalable and associated costs were quickly becoming prohibitive.
Containers needing repair frequently sat idle while waiting for labour or materials, which further increased packaging costs whenever additional disposable containers were required for ongoing production.
Inspections and repairs were time-consuming and demanded an increasing number of dedicated labourers and management.
Other challenges included:
The company needed a trusted partner who understood their business.
The company initially faced internal pressures and was reluctant to outsource repairs.
Working with Ultratainer, a low-risk trial run was devised to repair a hundred containers and review a comprehensive report.
Comments were so positive: the restored containers were immediately sent back into production at one of their facilities.
The UltraRepair program is tailored to the company’s needs. The repair services focus on operational readiness. Since Ultratainer’s specialized container systems are modular, every mesh panel can be replaced in seconds if needed. Sufficient spare parts are always ready. All containers are itemized and tracked. Any returned for repair too often are flagged and appropriate action taken.
