As announced in the December 2009 Harvest edition, SVZ will replace the 15, 25 and 28 kg jerrycans by one standard 20 kg jerrycan. Driven by labour regulations in several countries regarding maximum lifting/carrying weight, we ensure that our jerrycans – containing juice concentrate and compounds - will comply with these changed regulations. The transfer will be a gradual one, starting with the upcoming strawberry crop in Poland. Depending on stocks and contract positions, deliveries in the new pack size will either start immediately after the crop or later during the year. Please be informed that your first deliveries during the contract period 2010-2011 could possibly still have the old pack size. For later deliveries the new 20 kg jerrycan will be used. The new jerrycan has undergone thorough testing. Migration tests were carried out and the jerrycan was evaluated in terms of palletization, frozen storage and transportation. Please contact your regular sales contact at SVZ for specifications.
