Trelleborg app promotes concept to farmers
Trelleborg, Sweden
Trelleborg has launched a tyre efficiency app to promote the total cost of ownership concept to farmers. The app measures the benefits provided by a set of Trelleborg tyres for one axle in terms of cost savings and reduced working time.
Developed for farmers, contractors and specialised tyre and machinery dealers, the app enables users to select the number of hectares covered, their specific operation, working time and other parameters. The assessment is based on one year of operation and relates to a set of tyres for one axle.
Trelleborg spokesman Lorenzo Ciferri says: "For many farming professionals, upfront cost is one of the important considerations when selecting agricultural tyres. However, although costs savings may seem attractive in the short-term, they often come at the expense of whole-life costs.
"The concept of the total cost of ownership of the agricultural tyre is becoming an increasing consideration for farmers, both for the selection of the tyre brand during the purchase of a new machine and when replacing tyres."

Food Institute certifies PECO depot
Irvington, NY, United States
PECO Pallet is the first pallet company in North America to receive SQF (safe quality food) certification. The Safe Quality Food Institute (SQFI) has certified PECO Pallet's depot in Hazleton, Pennsylvania for Level 2 HACCP-Based Food Safety Plans.
To qualify, PECO had to demonstrate that it meets certified requirements to identify hazards and minimise food safety risks in its environment and products. PECO Pallet maintains an HACCP-based food safety and quality system and was evaluated in 17 different supporting programs and procedures, ranging from sanitation and chemical controls to personnel training and transportation programs. The entire facility in Hazleton was audited, and PECO Pallet's implementation of HACCP quality systems and controls was found to meet or exceed US FDA food safety requirements.
HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points and is a systematic preventive approach to food safety.
