COSMO Containers Launches Into The Moving And Storage Industry
COVAN World-Wide Moving places its first commercial order
COVAN World-Wide Moving placed its first large commercial order and entered into a development and sales agreement for a significant number of COSMOTM containers from Inspirion Ventures Inc. - a wholly owned subsidiary of NOVA Chemicals Inc.
The COSMO 759 Container is an expansion to the current product line and is designed specifically for the moving and storage industry. It is a fully integrated and collapsible container that provides significant freight, weight and storage savings for moving and storage companies.
The container is manufactured for Inspirion by Plasticraft Corporation - a major manufacturer focused on implementing ideas and facilitating efficient sustainable market solutions for the rotational and blow molding industries.
The collaboration between Inspirion Ventures Inc., Plasticraft Corporation and COVAN World-Wide Moving will allow COVAN and Inspirion to explore additional opportunities within the moving and storage industries.
Inspirion is taking the COSMO Container product line, through direct sales and distribution channels, to other markets that can leverage its unique design attributes. Developed by NOVA Chemicals using state-of-the-art design techniques to replace steel and wood with plastic in moving and storage applications, the COSMO Container is a lightweight, sustainable solution that contributes to lower fuel consumption throughout the value chain.
"The COSMO Container is a unique product offering that allows us to provide a safe, sustainable and cost-effective moving and storage solution to our customers," said Jeff Coleman, President of COVAN World-Wide Moving.
"Working with an expert like COVAN World-Wide Moving gives us the opportunity to better understand the moving and storage industry - ultimately delivering a better product to the market," stated Alan Schrob, Business Development Director.
"Being today's exclusive U.S. manufacturer of the COSMO container is an exciting opportunity for Plasticraft to manufacture a revolutionary design for the moving and storage industry," said Matt Bushman, President of Plasticraft Corporation.
COSMO Container is the recipient of several awards including the 2008 Rotational Molding Design Award from the Association of Rotational Molders - a first for a resin producer.
In addition, COSMO Container was presented the 2009 Achievement Award from the National Institute of Packaging Handling and Logistics Engineers for achievement in the areas of sustainability, handling and cost savings.
