What it means to be Made in Britain…
Earlier this year, we shared that we’ve relocated our plastic pallet production to the UK.
This move was a smart idea for several reasons. It:
- Reduces reliance on overseas supply chains
- Helps customers avoid international shipping disruptions
- Lowers transport emissions
- Supports UK jobs and local suppliers
It also means faster order turnaround, shorter delivery times and improved access to locally sourced materials.
Our team also joined Made in Britain, the recognised trademark for British manufacturing excellence, which celebrates businesses contributing to the strength and growth of UK manufacturing.
Weighing up your options?
Choosing the right pallet material can have a bigger impact on your operations than you might think to your costs.
Wooden pallets are often considered to be a cheaper option to plastic, but this view can miss the bigger picture.
Plastic pallets typically weigh around 10 kg less than their wooden counterparts, making them easier and more cost-effective to handle, transport and store.
Over time, that reduction in weight can translate into real savings across your logistics chain.
Plus, reusable plastic pallets offer far superior durability compared to traditional wooden ones.
So while wooden pallets may win on initial price, plastic pallets often deliver better value throughout their lifespan.
How many cycles do your pallets last for?
Our pallets are made for performance and longevity, with our data showing they can last over 250 cycles.
The true difference to maximising the number of cycles, however, is not simply down to the durability of the pallet itself. It is also about how (or whether) you track them.
When you have access to real-time location data for every single pallet, you are significantly reducing the risk of loss, misuse and theft.
You are no longer in the dark about your assets or supply chain issues and can ensure your pallets are doing what they do best.
