Buying Pallets- The Client Profile

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

(Newswire.net—June 18, 2013) Tampa, FL—Speaking with one of the leading pallet companies in the United States, Premier Pallets, of Tampa, Florida, we discussed some of the nuances of pallet customers  and what drives the demand.  As members of the NWPCA, the National Wood Pallet and Container Association,  they coin the phrase “pallets move the world”. 

 

There are a lot of goods that are shipped throughout the world and pallets actually make the shipping process very cost effective whereby most large shippers or manufacturers  have forklifts that are the primary vehicle for pallet transport. 

 

Larger manufacturers and warehouse operations are the primary clientele for companies that sell and supply pallets, like Premier.  They have a number of custom sized pallet requests from various companies that helps to minimize waste.  The food and grocery industry is probably the largest customer for pallet purchases.  Those shipping overseas require heat treated pallets or recycled or new pallets for their needs. 

 

The advent of robotic operations has spawned an even greater scrutiny for pallet companies.  There are now operations for example in Italy, that have operations where human hands never touch the merchandise until the very end of the goods’ journey.   High tech, indeed, however the precision required for such an operation is even keener in that the pallets must be constructed with greater attention to detail.  A broken or faulty pallet can wreak havoc on a robotic operation and cause a chain effect of problems that can necessitate a lot of damage control if and when such an occurrence would take place.
