Schoeller Allibert, a world leader in plastic reusable transit packaging (RTP), has appointed a new Premier Distributor to simplify and streamline the distribution process for its customers in the food & beverage processing and handling sector.

Alison Handling Services, based in Preston, stocks a variety of ex-Linpac Allibert products, many of which are in range of colours to help companies colour code parts of their factory or processes. Alison Handling Services boasts the largest stock of new and used plastic boxes, containers and trays in the UK. It will handle orders from food manufacturers and retailers worth £1,500 and below on a next-day delivery basis, while the network of Schoeller Allibert distribution depots will continue to fill larger and bespoke orders directly.

Schoeller Allibert’s Premier Distributors liaise closely with Garry Thorpe, national distributor sales manager, who said: 'Alison Handling Services is the ideal partner to fulfil urgent customer orders within the food, catering, and retail markets thanks to its experienced team, many of whom have more than 30 years’ experience in the industry. Customers can be assured that the RTP we supply to Alison meet ISO standards for food contact and will help maintain quality, freshness and hygiene of food products'.

'The role of our specialist Premier Distributors is key for Schoeller Allibert’s operations, providing a reliable source from which mail order customers, end user and reseller customers obtain their plastic containers.'
