Pallet provider keeps toiletries moving
April 1st 2008

European pallet service provider IPP Logipal has won a new contract with Acheson and Acheson, manufacturer of toiletry products and will distribute products using its one-way trip system.

This simple process allows the company to order pallets on a need-to-use basis and lets IPP Logipal take care of the rest, including quality control and collection. The agreement initially covers the nationwide Sainsbury's business.

Operating from its Newport location and using standard 1200 x 1000mm pallets, IPP Logipal pallets are projected to carry over 400 000 cases, covering more than 150 stock keeping units for the customer for the next 12 months.

During peak periods, the flexible service is critical in supporting Acheson and Acheson, as demand for products increases significantly.

Supply manager, Ellie Davies, says: "The effect of introducing IPP Logipal into our supply chain has been so marked that we are now planning to extend our relationship to use IPP Logipal pallets with our other customers."
