Kiilto optimises sustainability with Blue Water

Case

Kiilto's products ready for double-stacking

Kiilto, one of The Nordic countries’ leading manufacturers of hygiene and cleaning products, pays great attention to limiting CO2 emissions in own production and from transports.

With weekly transports from the factory in Assens, Denmark to the warehouse in Oslo, Norway, their solution called for optimisation of truck loads. Each truck was usually loaded with a maximum of 33 pallets which took up the entire trailer floor. It was not possible to load pallets on top of each other, which left the truck loads with unutilised cubic metres and thereby room for optimisation.

As a company we are obliged to committing ourselves to showing responsibility and contributing to a reduced climate impact. We continuously look for opportunities of optimisation in the entire value chain, and our transports have been an evident factor to improve.

Win-win situation for Kiilto and the environment

With optimal utilisation of the cargo hold using SpaceInvader racks, it is possible to load pallets - which are usually not possible to double stack - on top of each other and thereby utilise the entire cubic capacity. In this way, Kiilto’s CO2 emissions from road transport between the two localities are brought down by 50%, using the double stacking pallets racks from SpaceInvader. cutting down the number of transports to the benefit of Kiilto and the environment.

Blue Water has great knowledge and understanding of our needs, they act proactively and solution oriented. As supplier they have been efficient solving our challenge, and the solution benefits both our bottom line and sustainable ambitions
