IFCO SYSTEMS PALLETS<br />

As in our RPC business, our <strong>Pallet</strong>-<strong>Management</strong>-<strong>Services</strong><br />

operations combine high-value products with innovative and<br />

individual solutions for our customers. Our core business<br />

consists of acquiring used pallets, reconditioning the pallets<br />

to stringent standards and returning them to the supply chain.<br />

<strong>Pallet</strong>s that cannot be repaired to our standards are dismantled<br />

into individual parts for use in other pallets or converted into<br />

useable landscape or fuel type products, thereby completing the<br />

most ecologically responsible wood product cycle.<br />

IFCO SYSTEMS offers a broad selection of pallets in different<br />

sizes – at a far lower price than new pallets. Our comprehensive<br />

evaluation process allows us to offer customized and cost<br />

efficient solutions to meet our customers’ individual needs.<br />

With a transportation fleet of over 4,500 units and a nationwide<br />

service center network, we are also able to guarantee the<br />

on-time availability of the required pallets. IFCO SYSTEMS<br />

sorted, repaired and reissued more than 100 million pallets in<br />

its <strong>Pallet</strong>-<strong>Management</strong>-<strong>Services</strong> business segment in the USA<br />

during the year 2006.
