Epal Europallet continues on its successful course: growth rate of 10% in the second quarter of 2017
Production of EPAL Euro pallets increased by +10% in the first two quarters of 2017 compared to the previous year. Worldwide, 42.5 million EPAL Euro pallets were produced in the first six months of this year.
There was also an increase in repairs: +11.5% with 13.7 million EPAL pallets repaired in the first six months of 2017.
The continuous increase in production over the last four years, since the "EPAL in an oval" brand has been branded on all four blocks, is the unique success story of the EPAL Euro pallet, which stands for quality, safety and sustainability. In 2015, the 100 million mark of EPAL pallets produced and repaired worldwide was reached for the first time and exceeded in the following year with 105.5 million EPAL pallets in total.
Martin Leibrandt, CEO of EPAL: "I would never have thought that EPAL could top the historic result of 2015, but the trust of users of EPAL pallets is unbroken and continues to grow. We at EPAL are very proud of this and would like to thank all EPAL Euro pallet users."
