Tote bags save £10 per tonne

UFAC press release: August, 2011

Farmers can save £10 per tonne on supplements delivered in one-tonne tote bags from Ufac-UK. The company has invested over £90,000 in handling equipment at its Woolfox Mill, near Oakham, Rutland. This includes two new forklifts which accurately weigh material as the bags are filled.

"The tote bags make life easier for larger famers as all handling is
mechanical and can be streamlined," commented Robert Jones, managing director of Ufac-UK. "Apart from the financial saving at a time of high feed prices, bulk handling avoids the laborious job of opening 50 individual 25 kg packs and disposing of their packaging."

The bulk bags are proving popular. They are being delivered to farms all over the UK — and overseas — and their use now accounts for over 10 per cent of Ufac's mainline products. The company predicts that this growth trend will continue.
