Case Study: Bäckerei Exner boosts efficiency and sustainability with IFCO reusable bread crates

Bäckerei Exner saves up to 80% storage space with IFCO reusable bread crates

Bäckerei Exner, a third-generation family bakery in Germany, sought to enhance the sustainability and efficiency of its operations, particularly in the logistics of delivering its baked goods to 35 stores. The bakery partnered with vendor IFCO Systems to implement its reusable Brown Lift Lock bread crates for transporting frozen goods and pretzels.

IFCO provided a durable, foldable, and reusable packaging solution that streamlined the bakery's logistics. The crates saved storage space, improved handling efficiency, and reduced packaging waste. As a result, Bäckerei Exner achieved a more sustainable supply chain, with the foldable crates saving up to 80% of space in storage and requiring fewer trucks for reverse logistics, which cut down on associated carbon emissions.
