Turk’s Poultry Farm Ltd has this to say about its suppliers: “Turk's Poultry has an excellent working relationship with a diverse group of suppliers who are involved in the business from raising the chickens and grain through contract growing, to supply of packaging and parts and machinery.”

So Loscam has even more reason than usual to be proud of its announcement that is has signed an agreement with Turk's for managed pooled pallets across the country.

It's a relationship between two leaders in their industries. Loscam is the leading equipment pooling solutions provider and one of the fastest growing providers of Returnable Package Handling (RPH) solutions for use in New Zealand, Australian and Asian supply chains.

The companies share a focus on delivering high quality, efficient and environmentally sustainable solutions.

Turk's is one of New Zealand's most highly regarded poultry processors. It has been family owned and operated since 1996, producing eggs and broiler chickens. It now also produces smallgoods. The business currently employs 150 staff at five locations from Auckland to Foxton.

Turk’s Poultry Farm Ltd’s operations manager, Peter Hughes, reported, "From the outset, the whole experience of dealing with Loscam has been a pleasant and professional one. Being able to tap in to the level of supply chain expertise that exists within Loscam has been beneficial for us and the pallet is the best on the market.” 

"It's always great to welcome on board a new customer into the Loscam pool. It's also really pleasing when we're helping such a great New Zealand business to grow in this way as we help them to move, store and protect their goods through their supply chain in a cost effective, safe and environmentally sound way," Loscam New Zealand business manager, Nick Trask, added.

Food & Drink Business

A lot of food and beverage brands look strong when they’re small. They have one product, one pack, one clear idea and then they grow. That’s usually when things start to unravel, not all at once, but quickly enough to matter. The Creative Method founder and creative director, Tony Ibbotson, explains why – and growth is not the problem. 

Victorian-based Aquafab has completed a $620,000 Series A raise through Birchal, supported by over 300 investors. The company told Food & Drink Business that the funds will support continued national growth and plans in place to enter the US and UK markets this year.
