Innovative plastic load carriers for storage, return logistics and transportation

Gamma-Wopla and Smart-Flow Europe form a complementary company with a rock-solid formula: the Belgian family-owned company provides the European market with a complete and advanced range of plastic bins, pallets and containers. "As a specialist in injection molding, we develop reusable plastic packaging for various sectors. Gamma-Wopla focuses on plastic bins, while Smart-Flow Europe focuses on plastic pallets and folding containers. Both companies use the same advanced technology. Consequently, many customers and distribution partners purchase both products, offering them a complete and efficient logistics solution," says Mikaël Vandewiele CEO of Gamma-Wopla. 

The company has more than 25 years of experience and is based in Mouscron. "With our extensive product range, we can easily respond to different logistics needs. From stackable and nestable bins, to pliable solutions and everything in between. What sets us apart is that we can provide customized solutions when a standard solution does not suffice. Our in-house R&D team works with customers to develop solutions that address their real challenges. Be it efficient use of space, increased safety or better automation. Sustainability is at the heart of this. We process both virgin and recycled materials. And every product is also 100 percent recyclable at the end of its useful life."

History

The company has a fine history: "After selling the family business Michel Vandewiele, a manufacturer of textile machinery, our father Jan decided to take a new path. He started with injection molding and soon developed his own product line in plastic load carriers. Thus Gamma-Wopla was born and later Smart-Flow Europe followed. My brother Grégory and I are proud to be at the helm of what has since become one of the leading players in the field of reusable plastic load carriers in Europe. But we are also always looking to the future. For example, we recently expanded our logistics hub by 40,000 square meters to further develop and anticipate tomorrow's needs. In addition, we continue to invest heavily in high-tech, energy-efficient injection molding machines so that we can produce ever more efficiently and sustainably."

Asked about their most advanced solutions, commercial director Cibois Michaël replied, "The automation bins, the SF800EUR plastic europallets and the Smart Sleeve Packs. In the rapidly evolving world of the supply chain, everything revolves around efficiency, automation and sustainability. These plastic load carriers absolutely contribute to that."

Automation Bins

"Our range of automation bins is specifically designed for integration into automated warehouses and transportation systems. These bins help companies speed up their flow of goods and ensure error-free automation. With rounded, reinforced corners, they can be moved smoothly on conveyors and have an optimal grip for robots and grippers. Barcode or QR code printing and IML personalization ensures seamless tracking and identification."

Plastic euro pallets

The SF800EUR is indeed an ideal alternative to the traditional wooden Europallet. It fits easily into existing systems and can be used effortlessly on conveyors and in racking. "Unique for pallets sprayed in one piece, the closed trailing slats ensure improved detection in automated warehouses. And thanks to its robustness, hygiene and longevity, companies can save on maintenance and replacement costs."

Folding containers

The innovative Smart Sleeve Pack is ideal for industries where efficient and cost-effective storage, return logistics and transportation are crucial. This modular system consists of a pallet, a folding sleeve and a lid. "Thanks to the foldable sleeve, you achieve up to eighty percent space savings with empty returns. It is lightweight, but extremely robust and strong. That makes it suitable for intensive use and optimal protection of goods. It is also fully recyclable and reusable."
