Pallet giant Chep has won a three-year contract to secure automotive containers to Ficosa Otomotiv San, the Turkish manufacturer of command-and-control systems.

Chep will deliver containers to Ficosa's plant in Bursa, western Turkey. From there, they will be used to transport components to other Ficosa plants in Eastern Europe.

Fatih Aslanbas, logistics manager at Ficosa Otomotiv San, said: "Ficosa is keen to ensure that we limit the level of product damage when shipping our components across Europe. Previously we had been using one-way packaging to deliver our products and by switching to Chep we will significantly reduce the level of damage and the associated costs incurred."

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