Innovative transport solutions for bakeries

Bakeries are increasingly faced with the challenge of transporting fresh baked goods efficiently and safely. Particularly in the area of supply chains, it is crucial that bread, pastries and doughs retain their freshness and quality during transportation. The increasing demands for sustainability, cost optimization and compliance with legal regulations require innovative solutions that make transportation more efficient and resource-conserving.

Traditionally, bakeries often rely on simple packaging and transportation solutions, which in many cases do not provide the necessary temperature control or efficiency. The growing demand for environmentally friendly and cost-efficient refrigerated logistics and the need to reduce food waste make modern technologies essential.

va-Q-tec offers an answer to these challenges with its innovative packaging solutions. By using Vacuum Insulation Panels (VIPs), the company develops passive high-tech transportation solutions that enable temperature control without an external energy supply. These technologies offer efficient transportation and ensure the freshness and quality of baked goods over longer distances and periods of time.

Maximum flexibility and efficiency

Thanks to the mix-and-match principle, va-Q-tec solutions offer maximum flexibility: Different boxes (va-Q-trays) and lids (va-Q-lids) can be combined to find the perfect solution for your transportation needs. All the boxes can be randomly stacked among themselves with and without lid. If the box is used without lid, the bottom of the upper box serves as the lid for the lower box. Within a stack, the boxes can fulfill several temperature requirements, e.g. freshness and frozen in one stack. All combinations offer a long temperature holding time without external energy source and are available in standard sizes that can be seamlessly integrated in existing logistics processes.

va-Q-lid

The va-Q-lids are available in three versions with different sizes, materials and weights. The lids and boxes can be flexibly combined.

va-Q-tray

The va-Q-trays are available in four versions with different basic dimensions, heights and volumes. All boxes can be flexibly stacked, thereby offering a perfect solution for transportation.
