Shopping Basket, the process: design, manufacturing, and internationalization

Table of contents

Shopping Basket was created in 2008 in Barcelona (Spain) to meet the needs of the retail sector in the field of baskets and carts.

The process at Shopping Basket starts with analyzing the market and listening carefully to our customers. Afterward, our team of designers and engineers develop new generation and aesthetical products, which provide the shopper with the best shopping experience.

Once the design is obtained, the best raw materials are chosen in order to start the manufacturing process. The polypropylene we use -which is the main raw material in our products- is extremely resistant to temperatures. Our High-quality PP covers a range from -25ºC to 35ºC, and the colorants are food contact certified. On the other hand, the wheels are silent and have double-ball bearings. This system makes the baskets roll smoothly and thus shopping becomes a great experience.

Not only do we choose the materials carefully, but we also choose the best machinery. We own cutting-edge machinery with capacities up to 1.900 tonnes, enabling us to assume large volume productions. Furthermore, we support environmentally friendly production based on machinery that uses the latest totally automated technology, reducing energy consumption and emissions of CO2 into the atmosphere. Additionally, our manufacturing techniques allow us to obtain light, safe (non-cutting), and resistant products.

Manufacturing takes place in our facilities in Barcelona, thus allowing us to control at first hand all the process. Therefore thanks to its solid experience as a manufacturer, SB offers a 2-year guarantee in all the products.

Finally, thanks to our team’s efforts and to the collaboration with excellent distributors, our products are commercialized worldwide. At present, our shopping baskets and carts are in the stores and supermarkets of 50 countries in America, Asia, Europe, and Africa.
