Plastic pallets supplies are concentrated on a few specialist suppliers, one of which is PPS Equipment Management Ltd, based at Measham in the Midlands.
This is no real surprise as the company was originally registered as “Plastic Pallet Systems” with the intention of offering plastic pallet supplies to a range of industries, but primarily aimed at the food sector. In addition to plastic pallet supplies, PPS also offers returnable plastic food crates (which are used in conjunction with the plastic pallets) on a rental basis.
PPS has two sites, with a new site, also offering plastic pallet supplies shortly to open in Grimsby. The company felt that in addition to plastic pallet supplies that it should offer add-on services, so now PPS offers rental, with equipment management, online asset tracking, and a state-of-the-art wash operations at both sites.
Plastic pallets continue to offer new opportunities for companies in the food industry who wish to offer a more hygienic transit medium (wooden pallets cannot be washed).
As a complementary promotional feature, PPS has recently commissioned a report on the improved carbon footprint implication using plastic pallet supplies versus more conventional materials such as wood or one-way cardboard.
