EPAL Euro pallet continues on course for success
Düsseldorf, 01.08.2017 - The production of EPAL Euro pallets increased by 10% in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the previous year. Worldwide, 42.5 million EPAL Euro pallets were produced in the first six months of this year.
Production figures have been increasing continuously for four years. In 2015, the 100 million mark of EPAL pallets produced and repaired worldwide was reached for the first time and exceeded the following year with 105.5 million EPAL pallets.
Martin Leibrandt, CEO of EPAL, is positive about the increase in production: "I never thought that EPAL would be able to top the historic result of 2015, but the trust of EPAL pallet users is unbroken and continues to grow. We at EPAL are very proud of this and would like to thank all EPAL Euro pallet users."
