Plastic range

George Utz is a UK manufacturer and designer of plastic materials handling solutions, including plastic containers, vacuum formed trays, pallet boxes and pallets. The company will be showing examples of bespoke products, such as injection moulded containers for Boots, John Lewis, WH Smith and Ocado, and vacuum formed trays for automotive manufacturers and their suppliers.

Launching at the show will be a 1200 by 1000 by 975mm foldable plastic pallet box reinforced with steel. Utz worked with its automotive and postal customers to come up with a box that stands up to the heavy duty treatment encountered in today's fast-paced distribution systems. The company believes that, with a price not dissimilar to standard plastic boxes, the reinforced version will pay back in dividends when taking into account the operational cost savings of eliminating breakages.
