Kennesaw, Ga., October 13, 2020 – Quadient, a leading provider of automated packaging solutions, announced today that MWI Animal Health, a part of AmerisourceBergen and a leading distributor of animal health products, selected the CVP Impack to be installed at its fulfillment center in Edwardsville, Kan., this month. As one of the largest animal health distributors in the United States and United Kingdom, MWI provides veterinarians and other animal health care providers with next- or same-day distribution services on nearly all its products. MWI’s goal is to provide the highest level of convenience, affordability and selection while maintaining the highest level of accuracy.
“MWI Animal Health continually seeks innovative solutions or services that better position the company to support our customers’ evolving needs,” said Mark J. Shaw, president of AmerisourceBergen’s Animal Health business. “Through this new solution, we expect to increase our operational efficiencies and environmental sustainability efforts, while also continuing to ensure our customers receive the orders they need, when they need them.”
As an in-line automated packaging solution, the CVP Impack will support MWI’s continued efforts for driving greater efficiencies throughout the warehouse and reduce its environmental impact while allowing the company to meet its principle goal of fast and convenient delivery.
To do this, the CVP Impack measures, constructs, seals, weighs and labels various dimension single- or multi-item orders of either hard or soft goods in one seamless process. It creates custom-fit parcels that reduce or eliminate the need for void fill, allowing businesses to lower material costs of corrugate and other packaging by an average of 38% and lessen their environmental impact. The CVP Impack packs orders at a rate of up to 500 parcels per hour and only requires one operator, all while adhering to social distancing requirements. Due to the fit-to-size parcels created by the CVP Impack, shippers experience reduced dimensional weight and can achieve up to a 50% reduction in shipping volume. This results in an average of 32% savings in freight costs.
“We know how important cost savings and sustainability are to shippers and are proud to support MWI,” said Sean Webb, director of automated packaging solutions at Quadient. “With the CVP Impack’s custom fit-to-size parcels and requirement of only one operator, MWI will experience savings in material and shipping costs while reducing its overall environmental impact. Customers will also enjoy the fast delivery and the ability to fully recycle or reuse each parcel the CVP Impack creates. It is truly a win-win for all.”
