Orbis in Plant Engineering Award Final

Orbis Corporation, a provider of reusable packaging, added the new Odyssey rackable pallet to its list of award-winning product offerings.

The 40-by-48-inch Odyssey pallet is an innovative reusable packaging solution that supports heavy loads and provides stability with unique design features, including optional steel reinforcements and molded-in frictional elements.

Designed to optimize storage, reduce product damage and offer dimensional consistency, this rackable pallet is ideal for a variety of applications and markets, including food processing, cold storage, dry goods, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, raw materials and more.

Plant Engineering’s Product of the Year award is the premier award for new products in the manufacturing and warehousing/distribution industries, providing the material handling audience with information about the top new products in their fields. Finalists, such as the Odyssey pallet, are selected by a panel and voted on by readers. The Odyssey is one of six products represented in the Material Handling Systems category.

“We are honored to have the Odyssey recognized by such an esteemed publication,” said Alison Zitzke, senior product manager for Orbis Corporation. “The Odyssey pallet is a great representation of the innovative plastic offerings we at Orbis strive to produce. It expands the work we do to improve product and associate safety, create a sustainable supply chain, and better serve our customers’ application requirements.”

Orbis experts analyze their customers’ systems, design a solution and execute a reusable packaging program for longer-term cost savings and sustainability.
