30% transport savings
Location: France
Date: September 2018
The customer entered a new market as a supplier of chopped straw for calves. The idea arose because a fourage trader and the customer came up with the idea of bringing two methods together:
Calves eat, among other things, chopped and cleaned straw. Veal is supposed to be white. This can be achieved through a low iron content, which can be done by sieving the straw with a screening system.
The straw was normally delivered in France and cleaned in the Netherlands. By doing all this in France, cleaned straw can be packaged and delivered immediately without transporting it all the way to the Netherlands.
