Lacking centralized control and management of logistic functions at its five US production facilities, Pilot Chemical Company found it could not adequately account for cost-to-serve elements of individual transactions, resulting in inefficient carrier management, freight scheduling and cost accruals. ChemLogix, LLC offered both the web-based transportation management system (TMS) and logistics management resources that addressed Pilot Chemical’s logistics challenges while providing guidance on supply chain strategy and compliance issues. By implementing ChemLogix’ TMS solution, the global chemical company gained full visibility into freight spend through online access to data and generation of custom reports and optimized freight operations in several key areas including carrier management, route guide design, tender management, and on-time delivery compliance.  A case study detailing how ChemLogix’ TMS solution helped Pilot Chemical gain substantial savings through greater logistics control, management and visibility can be found on ChemLogix’ web site at http://www.chemlogix.com/pdf/CLX_CS2_transportation_management_outsource_solution_for_pilot_chemical.pdf.  For more information on ChemLogix services, contact Ken Vrtis at 630-579-8200 or kvrtis@chemlogix.com or refer to the ChemLogix web site at www.chemlogix.com.

The New Zealand wine industry is at the forefront in minimising the environmental impact of producing and transporting its wines and from January 1^st 2009 JF Hillebrand has added the exclusive VinLiner insulation device to all its wine-only groupage containers ex-New Zealand.  VinLiner ensures that consignments shipped via this service arrive in the best possible condition, minimising the risk of temperature or humidity damage on route.  VinLiner is a protective liner foil which is placed in dry containers to protect wine against thermal shocks, bad smells and humidity infiltration that might occur during transport. Designed specifically for the beverage industry and used across the entire JF Hillebrand global network, VinLiner offers one of the most advanced cargo protection solutions available on the market. JF Hillebrand will be exhibiting at the Annual New Zealand Winegrowers Trade Tasting Event being held in London on 13 January at The Nursery Pavilion, Lord’s Cricket Ground.  VinLiner will be showcased at the event along with other beverage supply chain logistics solutions. JF Hillebrand will be located between stands 37-38.    To reach most export markets, wines from New Zealand must travel thousands of miles and cross a range of climates. This logistical journey exposes them to varying extremes of temperature and humidity, with the obvious risk to wine quality. “VinLiner” dramatically reduces the impact of temperature and humidity shifts during day and night, and protects wines from radiation and thermal forces, which can occur on the ship or on the port terminals.  “Wine and spirits are highly perishable products, sensitive to changes in temperature,” said Pierre Corvisier, JF Hillebrand’s Director of New Services. “Different climates and unpredictable weather conditions around the world can lead to wines being exposed to unforeseen extremes of humidity and temperature – adversely affecting quality, and damaging the product. VinLiner provides the solution.”   For more information about the upcoming New Zealand Winegrowers Annual Tasting Event, please contact Charlotte Boyd: charlotte@nzwine.com.   #### NOTES TO EDITORS:More About JF Hillebrand and VinLiner:In transit, wine shipped in general purpose containers can be exposed to temperatures of up to 55°c. With global container volumes on the rise, we are seeing increased port congestion, bigger ships and more ports of relay – all of which mean containers often spend longer on the quay and in transit.   VinLiner provides a cost effective solution: dramatically reducing the impact of temperature shifts during day and night, and protecting wines from radiation and thermal forces that occur on the ship and on the port terminals. As a result, VinLiner dramatically reduces the consequences of exposure to temperature extremes - namely deterioration in quality or taste of the product, leakage, overheating and freezing, and the production of Ethyl Carbamate VinLiner also protects cargo from condensation and moisture within the container which can damage labels, caps, closers and cartons. It also protects against other irritants within the container - from water spills, to bad smells and contamination. There are also environmental advantages. Weighing only 14kg per 20ft container, VinLiner’s impact on the carbon footprint of a container shipment is negligible, especially when compared to shipping in a heavier, less efficient and less cost effective temperature controlled or ‘reefer’ container. In markets where reefer containers are unavailable or too expensive, VinLiner provides a cost effective and functional solution. With fitting stations located in every major wine producing area, VinLiner is user friendly and easy to install.  VinLiner is supported by VinRoute, JF Hillebrand’s internal database of temperature and shipping data, which can anticipate, based on extensive historical data, the temperature conditions that shipments will face as they travel from origin to destination. Using VinRoute, importers are able to make informed judgements about how best to ensure their product arrives on the shelf in optimum condition. JF Hillebrand now provides a complete range of specialist logistics services to New Zealand wine shippers, from sample shipment, FOB services, warehouse consolidation, groupage and full load ocean freight. Founded in 2002, JF Hillebrand New Zealand has enjoyed rapid growth and now employs 23 staff members to service the needs of the industry - for both imports and exports. JF Hillebrand is the leading specialist logistics provider for wine and spirits imports to the UK and, as part of the JF Hillebrand group, has the support of 1100 staff from 43 offices around the globe - ensuring a personal, dedicated service at every stage of the supply chain.For additional information, please refer to our website: www.jfhillebrand.com/uk
