CASE STUDY: RHINO Pallets Solve Manufacturer's Durability and Cleanup Concerns
Posted Date: 09/01/2005A Midwestern manufacturer contacted RHINO looking for a better pallet solution. They were spending $5,000 per month on wood pallets, but the pallets were continually falling apart and the splinters caused unnecessary cleanup.
The company purchased 1,000 RHINO aluminum pallets over a three-month period, eliminating the problems associated with the wood pallets. "The RHINO pallets have minimized cleanup, improved the image of the company and, to some extent, improved moral," said a senior executive. He added that the payback on price will be 20 months, but with the image and moral improvements, the pallets have already paid for themselves. [More]
CASE STUDY: RHINO Solution Improves Product Quality
Posted Date: 08/17/2005A company contacted RHINO because of a continuous problem with non-conforming products during their manufacturing process.

The company was losing as many as 100 pieces during this process at an average cost of $1.75 per piece.
