Diamond Pet Foods, a family owned and privately held company founded in 1970, has begun shopping their products on lightweight, 100% recyclable plastic pallets with embedded radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, from Intelligent Global Pooling Systems (iGPS Company, LLC), the supplier recently revealed.
A manufacturer of super premium, natural pet foods, Diamond Pet Foods offers formulas for all stages of life and levels of activity. According to the company, studies performed by iGPS customers consistently show significant bottom-line savings, as the result of lower transport costs, dramatically reduced production downtime, larger loads per pallet, reduced product damage, and fewer rejected loads.
Andy Kampeter, supply chain manager of Diamond Pet Foods, reported, “As a family-owned business, we take extra care in all aspects of our business, from incoming ingredients to outgoing product, with extensive quality control at every step along the way. The ‘iGPS’ lightweight plastic platform enhances the efficiency and environmental quality of our business and is a welcome addition to our operations.”
Diamond also reports that iGPS platforms put an end to broken boards and protruding nails that can damage product and injure workers. The iGPS pallet is touted as the world’s only rental pallet to receive Food Equipment Certification from NSF International.
The importance of the iGPS pallets includes hygiene standard settings, since they are easily cleaned, do not absorb fluids which can cross-contaminate foods, and never require treatment with toxic pesticides or fungicides.
From incoming ingredients to outgoing product, Diamond Pet Foods reports extensive quality control system checks their pet food for quality assurance with a 151 Quality Checks stamp on every Diamond product.
