‘Our products are often bulky and heavy, and consequently can be very difficult to handle. Despite
this, at the delivery point, Pall-Ex goes the extra mile to ensure that our customers are totally
happy’.
Tim Goodliff, Aggregate Industries
‘Time critical deliveries are of paramount importance to our operation, and Pall-Ex fulfils these
obligations to our customers. The cost savings are significant when compared to our previous method of
distribution’.
Kevin Swain, Operations Director, M J Maillis UK Limited
The extremely successful business model that established Pall-Ex in its No. 1 position in the UK evolved
from the fact that there are too many goods vehicles being operated very inefficiently. The Pall-Ex model
resolves this by operating on a ‘hub and spoke’ basis. Regionally based member depots collect
freight from customers and transport it to one of the two Pall-Ex transhipment hubs. There, the freight is
sorted by delivery area and loaded onto the vehicle of the member responsible for the destination zone,
whose responsibility it is to deliver the freight to the end customer.
By uniting haulage companies in this way, to work together co-operatively in a network, Pall-Ex has
introduced huge efficiencies, enabling customers to send consignments ranging from single pallets to part
trailer loads, quickly and very cost effectively. The Pall-Ex UK distribution network now handles up to 10,000 time
critical freight consignments daily. With today’s focus on a cleaner and greener world, you too can
join the numerous companies that have reduced their carbon footprint and revolutionised their distribution
by depending on the competitive and highly efficient services offered by Pall-Ex.
Pall-Ex is now establishing similar pallet distribution networks throughout mainland Europe, beginning with the launch of
Pall-Ex Italia in February 2009. Our ultimate objective is to establish the highest quality of palletised
freight distribution on a pan-European scale and we would like to hear from potential principal national
partners and members. If you are interested in exploring either of the above, please email
