Shipper interview: Harsch join ROKBOX LOOP

ROKBOX is very pleased to announce Harsch as the latest member of the ROKBOX LOOP collaboration.?

Geneva-based Fine Art Shippers join the revolutionary art shipping rental network that is helping art world organisations meet sustainability goals whilst protecting works better in transit. They join other forward thinking shippers: Regency, Haas & Co, Dietl, Gander & White and Helutrans.?

We spoke with Robin Harsch, to find out their motivation behind joining the ROKBOX LOOP collaboration.?

What inspired Harsch to join LOOP?

Harsch was inspired to join ROKBOX LOOP due to our ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability within the logistics and art transportation industries. We believe that by embracing such cutting-edge solutions, we can enhance our service quality while contributing positively to the environment.

We are also so proud of joining LOOP since for us it embodies double innovation. The first innovation is for the technology and design of the boxes, and the second one lies in the new concept of collaboration between companies. It is a new way of working together, with a strong and reliable organisation.

What are you most looking forward to about being part of this innovative collaboration?

We are particularly excited about the significant improvements in both cost-efficiency and environmental sustainability that ROKBOX LOOP offers.

The innovative design of these boxes not only ensures better protection for artworks, but also helps to reduce waste, which is crucial for our long-term sustainability goals. We are also looking forward to the operational efficiencies that come with this collaboration, which will allow us to deliver even better service to our clients.

Why does sustainability and innovation matter to Harsch?

At Harsch, sustainability and innovation are at the core of our mission. Innovation drives us to constantly improve our methods and practices, ensuring that we not only meet the highest standards in art logistics but also contribute to a more sustainable future.

What other steps are you taking to protect art and the environment better?

Beyond joining ROKBOX LOOP, we are actively exploring other eco-friendly materials and methods to further enhance our environmental impact. This includes producing our own solar energy, researching biodegradable packing materials, reducing carbon emissions through optimised transportation, and investing in technology that will bring us more efficiencies and reduce our energy consumption.

We are also committed to continuous education and training for our team to ensure that sustainability remains a priority in all aspects of our work.

As we enter a new age of sustainable shipping, how important is collaboration?

Collaboration is absolutely vital. No single company can achieve the level of impact needed to make a real difference on its own.

By working together, sharing insights, and developing joint solutions, the industry as a whole can move forward more quickly and effectively.

Partnerships like the one between Harsch and ROKBOX LOOP exemplify how collaboration can lead to innovative solutions that benefit our planet.
