Bristol-based Coveya Ltd specialises in the design, manufacture and supply of conveyor systems & parts working with customers throughout the UK and worldwide.  In response to the ongoing increase in online sales due to COVID-19, the Coveya team are now offering three of their conveyors for retail distribution, logistics and manufacturing sites across the UK that need to simply and cost-effectively extend their conveyor system.

The Easibelt (above), Easitrak Gravity Roller and Easikit Flatbed conveyors are available for short and long term hire (with the hire minimum being a week) as well as for purchase.  All three give a company looking for a fast-track solution to enable the processing of stock and returns, a cost and time effective way of getting a conveyor extension on site within a matter of days.

Each of these conveyors can also be used in conjunction with Coveya’s newly launched Mist-Safe – a unique over conveyor tunnel that releases disinfectant spray onto 4000 cartons, products, tech and returns daily.

Coveya conveyors can easily be integrated with existing conveyor systems and the team can also design a solution that is specific to exact distribution requirements.  All their products are supported by the best customer care, advice, and support.

Carsten Herbert, Sales Director at Coveya Ltd said “Coveya has a reputation for producing innovative conveyor systems that support a wide range of industries and applications and over recent months we’ve launched two new products that directly support businesses during this period of COVID-19.  However, we also thought long and hard about how existing conveyors could play a greater role in keeping Britain moving within an ever-changing landscape.

He continued; “All three of our modular conveyors alongside Mist-Safe offer a cost-effective way of expanding and improving distribution, logistics and online retail sites that have seen an increase in demand. With short term hire available, parts and great customer service, we can help companies to extend their operations as efficiently as possible making our conveyors the obvious choice when there is potential demand right now.

Geodis has set itself the ambition of reducing its CO2 emissions by 30% by 2030.

To achieve this objective, the France-based 3PL has deployed a programme that focuses on four areas of progress: measuring; reducing its greenhouse gas emissions – in particular through lower fuel consumption and the development of alternative engines and energies; setting up partnerships with its main subcontractors and developing low-carbon solutions for its customers.

In addition, Geodis says it is aware that collaboration and involvement with major groups are essential to meet the challenges of climate change and is therefore engaging with the various players in the sector.

By joining ECTA’s creation and call to action alongside 20 other leading European businesses and organisations, it is the company’s intention to help progress the mission of decarbonising road freight in the European Union.

“Geodis calls for the implementation of policies that accelerate the decarbonisation of the road freight sector with an approach that is fair to the whole market. The deployment of low-emission vehicles and energy infrastructure is an essential requirement to enable the transport sector’s transition,” says Philippe de Carné, Executive Vice President, Business Development, Innovation & Business Excellence of Geodis.

ECTA calls urges the European Union to make the shift to zero-emissions trucks a priority in order to meet the ambitious emission targets of the proposed EU Climate Law by 2030 and achieve a carbon-neutral Europe by 2050.
