A switch from wooden to plastic pallets has reportedly brought a range of benefits for premium spirits specialist The Edrington Group.
The company approached Goplasticpallets.com when it needed help with its logistics. Goplasticpallets.com is running a marketing camapign titled ‘Leave the wood. Go plastic’.
MD Jim Hardisty explained, “We’re not at all surprised that the solution we provided to Edrington is still working and still proving it’s worth some five years later, and we’re sure the solution will still be performing to its utmost in another five years’ time.”
Goplasticpallets.com suggested Edrington should make the switch to plastic pallets for a “durable and cost-effective solution” capable of withstanding the tough manufacturing environment.
Edrington ordered 1,400 APB 1210 Pool Perforated 5R pallets in black. It also requested the removal of the lips to prevent damaging the cases and inner gift cartons, which often overhang the edge of the pallets. Anti-slip strips were added to protect the cargo.
Edrington procurement manager Chris Hendry said, “We can package and ship approximately five million cases of whisky a year at this site that’s why it’s essential we work with the very best logistics partners.
“The pallets and solution we were supplied by Goplasticpallets have been fantastic and offer so many improvements over wood, durability being just one of the benefits. We’re over the moon with their performance.”
