The company Schütz from Selters, in the Westerwald region of Germany, has chosen "Schütz: Innovative. Reliable. Sustainable." as its motto for this year's Interpack, once again underscoring its role of innovator, and will also be offering the trade public detailed insights into the world of industrial packaging and its associated products and services and the latest trends and innovations in IBCs, and PE and steel drums.

Schütz has made great technological advances, especially at its drum production plants. Being able to offer customers reliability of supply coupled with the best technical solutions in PE and steel drums is part of the company's international strategy. Schütz will be highlighting these types of projects and topics at Interpack, too. New IBC developments and product solutions include the new IBC MXEX, for example, which features the first serial use of carbon nanotubes, replacing the tried and trusted valve with earth plate (for the earthing of the filling goods).

Schütz' invention and continuous further development of the IBC has done much to reduce total supply chain costs and also to bring down carbon emissions.

Visitors to Interpack will have the opportunity to find out how deploying the IBC can result in 50% lower costs across the entire supply chain than other packaging and logistical solutions. This is due in no small part to the Schütz Ticket Service, which provides free collection of used IBCs from the end user and their economically and ecologically useful return for recycling. At Interpack, Schütz will highlight the recent relaunch of its return and reconditioning service with an impressive presentation of just how quickly, flexibly and sustainably its IBCs are now collected worldwide.
