CHEP, a global leader in pallet management, has successfully introduced another new product to the Polish market – the plastic euro-type pallet. In Europe, the 1200 mm x 800 mm plastic pallet has been present for 15 years, proving excellent for handling goods that require specialized transport conditions. Since this year, Polish companies have been testing the new equipment and introducing the carriers into their warehouses.
The CHEP plastic euro-type pallet is a solution for companies whose production and transport must take place on phytosanitary carriers. The pallet is waterproof, easy to clean, and resistant to fats, acids, and odors. The plastic used to manufacture the carrier is smooth, which maintains a higher hygienic standard. The absence of recesses where water or contaminants can accumulate reduces the risk of product contamination. The pallet surface, with special anti-slip nubs, prevents products from shifting in humid conditions. The pallet is fully compatible with crates and containers, allowing it to form a carrier system.
– CHEP is a constantly developing company that researches market needs and then implements tools that respond to their demand. Furthermore, we offer our business partners solutions and products in line with the principles of sustainable development and ecology. We ensure that the materials from which all types of pallets are made are free from contaminants and fully recyclable. As part of our pallet rental service, CHEP increases supply chain efficiency while maintaining sustainable consumption of natural resources – says Kinga Di Salvo, Country General Manager of CHEP Poland and the Baltic States.
Mondi Poznań was one of the first Polish companies to decide to switch to the CHEP pallet pooling system by renting plastic carriers.
– We have been cooperating with CHEP since 2004. Initially, these were wooden euro-type pallets, but since this year, we have expanded our cooperation to include plastic euro-dimension (H1) pallets. From the moment of the joint decision to add another carrier, we were able to quickly establish commercial terms and move to operational activities. We appreciate the professionalism and transparency of the procedures used at CHEP. Thanks to the high quality of the products and services received, we can meet the needs of our most demanding customers – said Zbigniew Sapała, Head of Logistics Dep., Mondi Poznań.
