With a fleet of over 1000 electric vehicles, the successful online supermarket Picnic won the hearts and minds of the Dutch consumer. Picnic is the fastest growing company in the Netherlands with a competitive and sustainable proposition, and recently started to expand to France and Germany. With the eye-catching, electric vans, it addresses a fundamental flaw in online grocery shopping and delivery; its impact on carbon emissions.
Dutch sailmaker Albers Zeilmakerij BV produces the side curtains for all Picnic’s electric vans, and we’re happy and proud they chose Printable Side Curtain with Solidskin Technology.
As a consumer brand, Picnic needs to balance between brand image and sustainability. Our sidecurtains add to this aim. They stay in pristine condition for years maintaining the image of the brand AND they also add to the sustainability. The long durability significantly reduces the need for replacement of the curtains.
Another big advantage is achieved by the a-polar characteristics of the coating. This creates a self-cleaning effect, since dirt can not attach to the fabric and will be easily rinsed off with water through rainfall or when cleaned in the shop. This reduces the cleaning frequency and, moreover, no aggressive cleaning agents are needed.
