ORBIS® Corporation, in partnership with Seedbox Soluton, is currently showcasing the GEN250® seed box and other cutting-edge products at the 2023 ASTA Field Crop Seed Convention in Orlando, Florida, Dec. 5-8. Located at Booth 111, the two companies are showcasing innovations aimed at revolutionizing seed packaging and distribution.
On display at the booth will be the GEN250 seed box, the seed industry’s first alternative seed box container for storing, transporting and discharging bulk seed. This fully reusable seed box not only cuts freight costs but also enhances maintenance and handling processes. With a streamlined design, the GEN250 seed box provides better truckload efficiency, ensuring maximum productivity. Additionally, the containers are collapsible and stackable, minimizing storage needs and increasing transportation efficiency.
“ORBIS Corporation remains dedicated to fostering strong partnerships and driving innovation within the seed industry,” said Bob Klimko, product manager at ORBIS Corporation. “We’re excited to showcase our collaboration with Seedbox Solution on the GEN250 seed box at the Field Crop Seed Convention this year. This partnership exemplifies our commitment to providing sustainable, efficient and technologically advanced solutions to meet the evolving needs of our customers.”
Also on display will be a special edition pink-ringed GEN250 seed box. This unique container, featuring a pink top sleeve, aims to raise funds for supporting cancer patients needing financial assistance. Seedbox Solution will contribute all profits from selling these special edition pink-ringed boxes to Pink Heals – Western Illinois Chapter based in Carthage, Illinois.
“Seedbox Solution is pleased to be partnered with ORBIS Corporation in the development and sales of the GEN250 seed box,” said Jon Bertolino, vice president of sales and marketing at Seedbox Solution. “We are excited to present the industry the first Smart Box technology, which will allow users of seed boxes the ability to locate boxes in the country through GPS technology along with several other key data points that seed box users will find beneficial.”
