Turkish delight for CHEP

CHEP, the world's leading provider of pallet and container pooling solutions, announced the signing of a two-year contract with Kimberly-Clark, a personal care products global sales leader. Kimberly-Clark will convert all of its white exchange pallet flows in Turkey to CHEP pooled pallets.

Kimberly-Clark, Logistics Manager, Akin Hakan said: “The purpose of this partnership with CHEP is to improve our competitive edge by reducing expenditures on pallet management and logistics.

“We were investing a significant amount of money to buy our own pallets under the white wood exchange system to transport our products, but getting pallets back was not cost-effective and the money we spent on pallets was basically lost. Besides that, our customers have welcomed this decision warmly.”

Switching to CHEP from white pallets exchange reduces environmental impact. Through the CHEP pooling system, users of pallets, crates and containers are able to reuse assets continuously, reducing the consumption and waste of raw materials, while the optimised network increases efficiency and reduces emissions associated with transportation.
