Our business<br />

Ë IFCO SYSTEMS is engaged<br />

in two main business<br />

segments. We operate a<br />

RPC-<strong>Management</strong>-<strong>Services</strong><br />

business in Europe and the<br />

United States and a <strong>Pallet</strong>-<br />

<strong>Management</strong>-<strong>Services</strong><br />

business in North America.<br />

| OUR BUSINESS |<br />

Increasing market dynamics and globalization in commerce<br />

are placing increasing demands on logistics providers. Today,<br />

products have to be transported intelligently, efficiently and<br />

above all, rapidly. While these requirements place high demands<br />

on logistics management and transport containers, this market<br />

shift also creates significant growth opportunities for wellpositioned<br />

logistics service providers.<br />

We have market leading positions in multi-billion US Dollar<br />

markets and offer significant future growth potential in our<br />

proven RPC-<strong>Management</strong>-<strong>Services</strong> business and our <strong>Pallet</strong>-<br />

<strong>Management</strong>-<strong>Services</strong> business in the United States. Thanks<br />

to our broad range of solutions we are able to meet virtually all<br />

customer requirements in an individual, client focused manner.<br />

Barriers to entry in both businesses are very high in light of<br />

the large financial investments necessary for a comparable<br />

RPC pool and the development of a geographic network<br />

infrastructure which would be required to compete with our<br />

European and North America RPC businesses, as well as our<br />

<strong>Pallet</strong>-<strong>Management</strong>-<strong>Services</strong> business in North America. In<br />

addition, we possess extensive market knowledge and unique<br />

pool management expertise, and are proud to employ well<br />

qualified managers with in-depth industry experience.<br />
