Textile Sector

In recent years, different brands that stand out for their excellent logistics management have become increasingly popular. This enables them to update entire collections in time frames that were previously inconceivable. As such, there are different types of players in the sector, from primary fabrics to dye companies and clothes manufacturers, each with their own needs.

Currently, the key players in the sector have completely integrated chains and manages the entire production process, right through to sale to the end client. Many of these companies are starting to use our plastic logistics solutions (pallets, boxes and containers) in their processes to reduce logistics and storage costs, and to improve reverse logistics.

All of this comes with one requirement: these elements must be easy to manage in-store, avoiding damage to the shop floor and other elements, and reducing handling risks.

"Companies from this sector use our BASIC line to reduce the space required in back rooms as far as possible, as well as to avoid marking sales surfaces."

Benefits of plastic pallets in the textile industry:

• They are nestable, reducing transport costs when empty compared to wooden pallets.
• Optimisation of storage costs: they are nestable, meaning they take up less considerably less space in storage and back rooms when empty.
• They are easy to handle without risk of injury: they are lightweight pallets (between 5 and 6.50 kg compared to 12 kg wooden equivalents).
• A single piece produced exclusively from plastic. They do not shed splinters or contain loose nails, reducing shop floor damage as well as possible injuries whilst handling.
• Longer life cycle compared to conventional pallets.
• Lower cost per movement: similar cost to wooden pallets, the number of returns is 4 times higher.
• Improved visual impact.
• Can be stored outside.

"Companies make major logistics cost savings thanks to the foldable nature of the containers."
