Making the case for quality

Cases for Industry, a division of the single-source packaging specialist FDL Packaging Group, has made an investment in a semi-automatic pallet machine to significantly improve its offering to customers.

The company says: "It's no exaggeration to say that the machine has revolutionised the pallet side of the business by helping the company to manufacture pallet bases and tops quicker and more efficiently with consistent nail pattern, finish and overall attention to detail.

"The semi-automated machine is endlessly versatile in its ability to handle different grades of material, sizes and dimensions. Not only that but the machine will achieve a perfect, consistent finish, adding chamfered edges and corners to the timber and tailor-making precisely to a customer's specifications as required." FDL Packaging Group sales director Dave Scotting adds: "The objective for us as a company was to bring our pallet offering up to speed with our other product ranges in terms of quality and consistency.We believe that the standards achieved by the semi-automatic machine represent a significant improvement on the handmade pallet with its imperfections and weaknesses and help to establish Cases for Industry as a major player in specialist pallet supply."
