Sounds like this company's CEO and other management are really first rate. May be some serious to be made here. Check out envirokare.com
Charles H. Stein, ENVKs CEO and Chairman of the Board, was recently brought in from Sara Lee, where he served as President / CEO ( www.enhancementcapital.com/documents/Dec1_2000a.htm ) of the Kitchens of Sara Lee, the worlds largest provider of baked goods. He was also a director, member of the Executive Committee, and a vice president of Consolidated Foods, the parent company of Sara Lee, and one of the top 30 companies of the Fortune 500.
Mr. Stein has extensive leadership experience with publicly traded corporations, and currently serves as the Chairman of New China Homes (NASDAQ), Shanghai's first and largest suburban home developer. He has also served as a director or advisor to a wide range of NYSE-listed companies.
In addition, Stein was previously chairman and CEO of CCA Companies Incorporated (NASDAQ), and chairman and CEO of Hardwicke Companies Inc. (NASDAQ), both of which employed several thousand people worldwide. Hardwicke built, developed, or operated more than 50 restaurants, including New York City's Tavern on the Green (which has fast become the world's highest grossing restaurant) and Maxwell's Plum, as well as health spas and theme parks in North America, Asia, and Europe ((including Great Adventure in New Jersey, which is the world's largest independent theme park).
Other major career accomplishments of Mr. Stein include serving as President of Benihana of Tokyo, the first successful Japanese-style "Teppanaki" restaurant chain, which currently owns and operates restaurants around the world ( www.enhancementcapital.com/documents/stein.htm ). Stein is also credited with pioneering the concept of fresh orange juice in "milk-type" cartons and other unique and innovative packaging and presentation of other chilled and frozen citrus products; he started this business in Florida and then sold it to Kraft Foods. Subsequently, he served for nine years as a division manager with several thousand employees, and was one of five senior executives reporting directly to the CEO of Kraft Foods.
I have years of experience in power distribution and controls systems for material handling and robotics that interface with palletized loads. Wood pallets are a pain in the ass, due to cracking, splintering and forklift truck damage. The broken pieces, scraps and wood dust can leave debris in the palletizers, de-palltizer and conveyor components which will interfere with chains, belts, and the optical sensors and limit swithces used for control.
Wood pallets cannot be used around many food, and almost all pharmaceutical, manufacturing due to contamination effects. Composite, fiberglass, molded hard-rubber, plastic and other new tech pallets and/or "..slips.." solve these sorts of problems.
Wooden pallets have some serious liabilities (additional information, facts and figures can be found at: www.enhancementcapital.com/documents/palatable.htm ; www.enhancementcapital.com/documents/globalpallet.htm ; www.enhancementcapital.com/documents/wood.htm ; and, www.enhancementcapital.com/documents/issues.htm.
