Schoeller Arca Systems Racks Up Plastic Pallets Company

Schoeller Arca Systems (SA Systems), the world's largest manufacturer of returnable transit packaging, has bought Basic Industrial Plastic Pallets (BIPP). BIPP pallets are a viable alternative to wood, and are now available to buy through SA Systems throughout Europe.

Plastic pallets have been used in Europe for 25 years, and make up 8% of the European pallet market. BIPP's extensive range of over 100 products, includes one-way export pallets, industrial pallets and heavy-duty hygienic pallets. Popular within the food and beverage, pharmaceutical and export industries, they comply with all EU standards.

The pallets are exceptionally durable and clean, providing considerable cost savings. They are up to 40% lighter than wooden alternatives, and their weight remains constant because they do not absorb moisture. Weather resistant and easy to stack, plastic pallets are safe to handle, with no nails or splinters.

Plastic pallets are often the most economical solution when exporting, as they do not need the treatment and certification required by many of the world's largest markets when dealing with wooden alternatives.

Tim Ansell, Managing Director of Schoeller Arca Systems in the UK, commented, "The technology and cost of plastic pallets means they have a significantly lower full life cost than their wooden counterparts. I am extremely pleased that the most complete range of plastic pallets is now available through us, making us the largest plastic pallet producer in the world."
