CPR System Spa, a leading company in the production and management of reusable plastic crates for the food sector, faced a significant challenge in tracking its assets. The absence of a precise tracking system caused significant crate losses and made it impossible to guarantee with certainty the sanitisation process of each individual unit, an aspect that is particularly critical for sensitive projects such as the HORECA project with schools. It was essential to develop a solution that would make it possible to monitor the complete life cycle of every single crate, from distribution to washing and reuse.
Born in 1998 from the idea of fruit and vegetable producers to create a cooperation between companies, this system, unique in Europe, stands out for generating efficiency as well as environmental and economic value to be shared along the entire agri-food supply chain.
It is the only example in Italy of a “supply chain company,” capable of bringing together different companies operating in production and distribution, all connected by a cooperative relationship.
Over the years, the system has grown significantly, becoming an organisation that brings together more than 1,000 companies from the agricultural production base, organised distribution and the services and transport sector.
Today it is a leader in Italy in the production, handling and recycling of foldable-sided plastic packaging and pallets.
The solutions offered are constantly evolving, driven by the belief that the continuous improvement of this “virtuous system” and innovation in the circular economy represent the future.
