What Customers Say About Us

Before we used our own plastic containers, which required a logistics organization and a reserve of large storage space.

With HB, logistics became more economical. Several collection points offered by HB are already close to the customer, which streamlines the process. In addition, we have more space in the truck in the return trip, since the containers are foldable and free up space for another type of cargo.

Júlio César Del GrossiGENERAL MANAGER - COMÉRCIO DE FRUTAS DEL GROSSI

"Boa Supermercados always aims to offer the best product to our customers, in the distribution chain plastic containers have an essential role because they need to package the products in order to preserve the quality and avoid failures in addition to meet the standards of sanitary surveillance for hygiene. A major challenge has always been the control and storage of these containers, and HB-SMR has offered us solutions to this problem.

We have been working with HB-SMR containers since February of this year and we have found a lot of advantages, because we have an effective control with the movement of the containers avoiding losses, besides not having to worry about the sanitization, since all containers already meet technical standards in accordance with current rules.

Another advantage was the reduction of storage space for these containers after use, because they are foldable and take up much less space in the DC."
