Kettle Brand Chips teams with iGPS for shipping products throughout the U.S.

Tuesday, January 4, 2011

Intelligent Global Pooling Systems (iGPS) announced that Kettle Brand Chips will begin shipping its products throughout the U.S. on iGPS’ all-plastic pallets with embedded RFID tags.

The producer of snack foods including Kettle Brand Potato Chip and Handcrafted Nuts will use iGPS’ RFID-enabled pallets, which are 100% recyclable and 30% lighter than pallets made of wood. The pallets are environment friendly and do not absorb fluids that can cross-contaminate food.

In addition, iGPS pallets do not harbor wood-boring insect, therefore never require treatment with toxic pesticides. And thanks to embedded RFID tags, shippers and receivers can track shipments throughout the supply chain. [end] 

Gaming Partners International announced that it has received three orders to supply casino chips and plaques totaling just under $4.7 million.

The company will produce approximately 700,000 custom Bourgogne et Grasset (B&G) premium casino chips for Venetian Macau Limited’s Sands Macau and Sands Cotai properties. GPI will also produce over 80,000 B&G RFID plaques to Sociedade de Jogos de Macau, S.A. (SJM)’s Grand Lisboa property.
