Most Sustainable Pallets Manufacturer 2023 - Germany Based in Hamburg, Germany, Paletten-Service Hamburg has been a pioneering force in logistics, pallet repair, and pallet trading for over 50 years. Every year, the business delivers more than 10 million pallets safely and on schedule. Its expert team examines clients’ requirements and uses modern structural analysis programs to develop the optimal load carrier for their application. Paletten-Service Hamburg produces and stores large quantities of load carriers throughout Europe. With six fully equipped production sites and an international partner network, the business delivers EPAL-certified products and special load carriers to suit individual customer requirements. The Paletten-Service Hamburg Group consists of several family businesses, including Lagerhaus Harburg Spedition GmbH (a storage service provider), MAVO Hamburg GmbH (for workwear and protective clothing), YELLOG Logistik GmbH (for freight forwarding and full-load transports), and PaLog. Paletten-Service Hamburgs’ comprehensive service includes delivery, purchasing, sorting, repair, disposal, and quality management. The company buys clients’ surpluses of standard load carriers, repairs pallets, and disposes of any waste wood. With a fleet of 30 large-capacity trucks, an extensive network of depots, and sizable quantities of stock, Paletten-Service Hamburg can supply clients with their order at their desired location within 48 hours. With in-depth knowledge of logistics and trade, Paletten-Service Hamburg develops bespoke load carrier solutions for clients’ unique needs. It is the business’s objective to save customers time and money with its optimal solutions. To support an efficient supply chain, businesses require reliable load carriers, which are often only needed for a certain length of time. The PaLog pallet logistics system allows clients to rent and exchange pallets rather than buy them. The system provides clients with the necessary quantities and qualities (new, first choice, high-bay, and used) at their desired location and takes back the pallets no longer needed. PalettenService Hamburg’s system reduces the need for costly transports of empty load carriers. With its cloud-based system, clients can view their pallet stocks, make rebookings, and place orders. In order to fulfil customers’ requirements, Paletten-Service Hamburg maintains a close relationship with its customers. Each customer is assigned their own contact person who has tailored a load carrier solution to the client’s individual needs. It is the team’s objective to find the optimal solution for each customer. Sales staff monitor costs, utility, sustainability, and more to provide the best possible solutions. Paletten-Service Hamburg was the first carbon-neutral pallet producer in Germany, receiving the climate-neutral seal from ClimatePartner, a leading solution provider in climate protection for companies.
