Container systems

SSI SCHAEFER plastic containers can be used sustainably in the reusable system, are fully recyclable and can be further processed into regranulate for new containers. Nestable and foldable containers offer efficient space savings of 75-80%, while customized packaging protects sensitive products from damage. Steel containers are another robust, recyclable alternative with high load capacity.

Ergonomics

SSI SCHAEFER considers ergonomic work stations, as well as preventative occupational and system safety, to be both an ethical as well as a moral obligation. This subject plays a fundamental role in the development of products and solutions. The sustainably designed work stations and processes promote employee motivation and help prevent unnecessary efforts and movement that results in health issues. This is where the modular picking and handling systems and the ergonomics@work!® concept come into play.
