Stretch wrap inventor recognized for career devoted to cargo securing.
Malden, Netherlands December 2019 – The European Safe Logistics Association (EUMOS) held their 6th International Conference in Valencia, Spain to discuss the latest research and practices with the goal to make roads safer. Lantech Founder, Pat Lancaster, received the EUMOS Award for recognition of his career devoted to cargo securing, helping to make logistics on the road safer in Europe and on a global scale.
In the course of the conference, participants coming from various industry sectors, academia and the public sector demonstrated their commitments in striving toward zero fatalities on the road by 2050, as determined in the EU Vision 0 Initiative.
Forty-seven years of correlative testing and logistical experience have provided Lantech with a wealth of data, and produced an evidence-based prototype for maximizing load wrap quality that includes:
- Specified containment force (with high and low limits) at the top, middle and bottom of the load
- Each load effectively bonded to the pallet with a rolled or gathered rope placed above the fork truck entry of the pallet
- No dragging film tails
Lantech’s performance-tested method can help companies prevent in-transit damage and maintain compliance with the initiative. You can read more about Lantech’s time-tested load quality metric for an uncertain regulatory environment in this blog.
