New agreement between Greenyard Fresh and Carrefour Belgium
Sint-Katelijne-Waver, Belgium, April 19, 2018
Greenyard (Euronext Brussels: GREEN) announces that on 18 April Greenyard Fresh and Carrefour have signed a new cooperation agreement under the name 'First-In-Fresh'. This further strengthens the long-standing cooperation between the two parties.
The new cooperation involves the logistical bundling of various product categories adding more than 1,500 fresh products (meat, fish, prepared meals, etc.) to the already existing fruit and vegetable range that Greenyard Fresh supplies to its Carrefour franchise partners.
More frequent deliveries, smaller order quantities, shorter order periods and commercial dynamics are the most important advantages that franchise partners of Carrefour will experience when using the 'First-In-Fresh' logistics platform. The logistics handling will be operational before summer and will be done from the new distribution center that was built at the Greenyard site in Sint-Katelijne-Waver for this purpose.
The delivery of several fresh products to the Carrefour franchise partners ensures efficient loading of trucks, which also benefits the ecological footprint. The shorter order periods in turn provide a better inventory management, which leads to less waste.
