Multi-award-winning Pall-Ex has announced further expansion into mainland Europe with plans to create three new palletised freight networks. The UK leader in the field of palletised freight distribution, Pall-Ex has unveiled plans to take its proven commercial and operational model to the Iberian Peninsula, Poland and the Benelux countries of Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg and is now inviting well established and forward thinking logistics companies which may be interested in becoming either a principal national partner or a network member, to contact them.

Pall-Ex, originally founded in the UK in 1996, has already launched Pall-Ex Italia to great acclaim, providing a new, much more efficient kind of distribution solution for the Italian market.

Adrian Russell, managing director of the Pall-Ex Group, commented: “Whilst the Pall-Ex business model remains fundamentally as it was when we launched in the UK in 1996, it has been refined along the way, as we have correctly predicted market changes and demands.

“Extensive market research confirms that similar supply chain demands exist at different stages of evolution in other European economies, including Spain, Portugal, Poland and Benelux, providing Pall-Ex and its partners in those areas with the right environment to offer superlative customer service at the most competitive rates possible.

“By forming a strategic partnership with like-minded, ambitious businesses in Europe, we can further our mission to establish a palletised freight distribution service on a truly pan-European basis.”

Pall-Ex is now seeking a principal national partner within Spain, Poland and Benelux, who can demonstrate they are well established, quality driven, financially sound, strong in business ethics and entrepreneurial in spirit, and also welcomes approaches from potential members of the new network.
