Euro pallets: BGL and EPAL plan closer cooperation in managing pallet exchange

 

BGL, Frankfurt am Main, 07/04/2017:

On 04/04/2017 an exploratory talk took place between the new General Manager of the Bundesverbandes Güterkraftverkehr Logistik und Entsorgung (BGL) e.V. [Federal Association of Road Haulage, Logistics and Disposal], Prof. Dr Dirk Engelhardt, and the CEO of the European Pallet Association e.V. (EPAL), Martin Leibrandt, as well as the Director of the EPAL Academy, Alexander Becker, at BGL’s offices in Frankfurt am Main.

 

At this meeting one of the topics discussed in depth was the problems the German transport logistics industry has with exchanging Euro pallets. BGL and EPAL want to take action together against existing problems. BGL and EPAL see great potential in closer cooperation to improve the management of pallet exchange and discussed possible joint approaches and solutions.
