Logistics BusinessTwo New Irish Depots for Pallet Pooler

European pallet pooling provider, LPR, has opened two new depots in Ireland. Building on the growing relationship with haulage company Goggins, the partnership sees Goggins operating the transport, storage, repair and distribution of LPR pallets.

The depots in Dublin and Galway increase LPR’s presence in Ireland, and are key drivers in the logistics leader’s strategic plan of expansion within the UK and Ireland markets. The Dublin depot will be officially unveiled on 23 February by Kilkenny hurling legend, Henry Shefflin.

An investment of more than €500,000 across both new sites will allow the movement of one million pallets initially, although there is potential at both Dublin and Galway to expand as business in Ireland increases.

The depots, which will employ a total of 18 staff, are equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, including two inspection towers, Vac-u-Lifts, two repair benches and semi automated in and out feeds.

The Dublin site will also upgrade facilities with a paint booth, as it strives to provide customers with ever greater efficiency.

Operating hours are 6am-10pm Monday to Friday in Dublin and 8am-5pm Monday to Friday in Galway.
