Distribution/Fresh Sector

Korea Container Pool (KCP) reduces packaging and logistics costs in the distribution process and improves workability and product quality.

We provide standardized and dimensionally regulated containers for the entire distribution process, from production sites such as fresh produce and stockbreeding/meat processing to retail stores. These containers are available for shared use, and KCP manages the entire process from deployment to collection, including quantity control, cleaning, and maintenance. This enables cost savings in packaging and logistics expenses while improving workability and product quality.

Operating Process

  • Containers cleaned at over 50 KCP logistics centers nationwide are provided to production site (contracted) logistics centers. The containers are then moved to distribution stores, where they are used for product display. Once the usage is completed, the containers are collected again for cleaning and maintenance.
