In less than 3 years, the EPAL brand has succeeded in imposing itself on the international level and positioned with 105.5 million pallets in 2016 as the market leader in the European pallet.
The European Pallet Association e.V. (EPAL) reached a new record score in 2016, with a total of 105.5 million EPAL pallets manufactured and repaired. This figure is up by 4.35% compared to the previous year. The number of pallets manufactured increased by 8.93% to 80.5 million units, while the number of repaired pallets rose to 25 million, or 1 million more units.
