The manufacturer is shortening delivery times to the main Western European markets with this multi-million euro investment.
New production facility commissioned
The new production line for EURO H1 hygiene pallets integrates an injection moulding machine, a welding machine and a milling machine as well as quality control systems. With autonomous production cells and state-of-the-art process technology, pallets of the highest dimensional accuracy and dimensional stability are produced with minimal weight tolerances.
WERIT has been a certified manufacturer of EURO H1 hygiene pallets for over 20 years. The new central production facility in Buchholz (Westerwald) is located close to the A3 motorway between the Rhineland and Rhine-Main economic areas. From there, the most important sales markets in Germany, France, Belgium and the Netherlands can now be supplied even faster.
The EURO H1 plastic pallet is recognised as the leading pallet for all hygiene-sensitive applications in areas such as food, chemicals and pharmaceuticals. With certification from GS1 Germany, the reusable load carrier can be exchanged throughout Europe. In addition to GS1 labelling, the pallets also have the DIN plus certificate and the GS mark for tested safety. Other product features include the high load capacity, long service life and special dimensional stability.
"The start of production of EURO H1 hygiene pallets at the Buchholz site provides our customers with greater delivery reliability and an improved environmental footprint," comments Christian Seidel, Market Manager for reusable transport packaging and plastic pallets at WERIT Kunststoffwerke.
