Bertling Bulk Liquids has invested in Flexitank transportation to serve the South African wine industry as agricultural exports from the country surge after the crippling Covid-19 pandemic.
According to the company, increasing global trade and the competitiveness of Flexitanks over their substitutes such as International Standards Organization tanks (ISO tanks), drums, and intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) have resulted in accelerating market growth for Flexitanks.
“Foodstuffs and wine are among the most significant drivers of the Flexitank market growth, and Flexitanks are increasingly used by wine producers as their products are usually at risk of spoilage when packaged in ordinary shipping boxes,” the company said in a statement on Thursday.
