Find out what Campbell’s Soup and FLEXSPACE Mobile Racking Systems have in common

FLEXSPACE Mobile Racking Systems deliver sustainable growth and profitability

Today’s food manufacturers and processors have grappled with recent challenges from supply chain issues and inflation to scarcity of land, labor, and capital. Challenges often stimulate creative thinking and agile solutions that will address today’s needs and help position the organization for future sustainable growth and profitability.

Food manufacturers and processors have a long history of seeking out creative solutions that meet consumers’ demands and even create new food categories. One example of creative thinking and “storing more, in less space” is Campbell’s condensed soup. In 1897, Dr. John T. Dorrence, a chemist, invented Campbell’s condensed soup. By eliminating water in canned soup and having the consumer finish the production process, Campbell’s soup was able to lower its packaging, shipping, and storage costs, and made it possible for consumers to buy a can of soup for a dime. Creative thinking with “storing more food in less space” has fed consumers for over 125 years and created sustainable growth and profitability for Campbell’s soup.
