Tarmac increases use of Chep pallets

The company had been using white pallets to ship its pre-packaged building and decorative aggregates to retail customers’ stores across UK and Ireland. It will now switch to the Chep blue 1200x1000mm pallets.

The move increases its use of Chep pallets in the sector to around 250,000 movements a year.

Cliff Ogden, director of Tarmac’s Trupak division, said: “We are keen to minimise the impact of all our operations on the environment, preventing pollution and striving for continual improvement in our environmental performance, whilst working towards more sustainable operating practices.

“Not only is Chep’s pooling model environmentally friendly, but also the robust quality of its pallets can handle our heavy building products, better than the alternative white pallets we have used in the past.”

Chep employs more than 7,000 people in 45 countries. It has an asset base of more than 300 million pallets and containers.
