About IFCO SYSTEMS

IFCO is a German public company founded in 1992 that manufactures and manages reusable plastic containers (RPCs) for fresh food distribution. The business model is pooling: customers rent standardized crates for shipping produce, meat, seafood, and bakery items; IFCO tracks, cleans, and redistributes them. The company operates across 50+ countries with a 1,001–5,000-person workforce split between manufacturing, logistics, and customer-facing functions. Revenue comes from rental fees, per-shipment charges, and ancillary services; profitability depends on container recovery rates, transport efficiency, and utilization across regional networks.
