Fiesta Fresh targets supply chain

We had the privilege of welcoming the Mayor of Cape Town, Geordin Hill-Lewis, and his team to our Fiesta Fresh (Pty) Ltd facility in Epping Industria.

It was a great opportunity to introduce who we are, share the Fiesta Fresh vision as a fully utilized container consolidation centre and discuss how this can strengthen the fruit supply chain and Cape Town port efficiencies – benefiting growers, exporters and shipping line partners.

A big thank you to the Mayor and his team for their time, openness, and support – and for joining us on a quick spin in the reach stacker!

Cutting waste, one pallet at a time

Dole Food Company is expanding the commercial use of Oxifilm®, a 100% recyclable, macroperforated stretch film, across its banana and pineapple operations in Latin America.

By replacing corner boards, straps, and clamps in the palletization process, Dole is eliminating up to 85% of traditional materials—saving more than 15 800 kg of plastic every week.

This isn’t just about reducing plastic. It’s about:
✅ Enhancing operational efficiency
✅ Improving workplace ergonomics
✅ Maintaining fruit quality
✅ Leading with innovation in sustainable agriculture
