PALLET-MANAGEMENT-SERVICES SOLUTIONS
To support the core business of pallet procurement and
distribution, the scalable Pallet-Management-Services model
we have implemented enables us to offer a variety of valueadded
solutions to companies in a wide range of industries.
Our solutions offer advantages for retailers, food producers
or industrial companies. By outsourcing pallet management
to IFCO SYSTEMS, customers can concentrate on their core
business instead of pallet related issues.
In more detail, IFCO SYSTEMS offers the following portfolio
of logistics and management services:
Pallet Sort and Repair: This individualized service entails
sorting customer pallets, repairing damaged units and returning
them to the customer’s pallet distribution cycle. We make
this service available at customer locations or at one of our
IFCO SYSTEMS service centers.
Distribution Center Management Services: With distribution
center management services, we provide comprehensive and
individual Pallet-Management-Services solutions that include
all aspects of pallet handling, sorting and tracking, as well as
the handling and disposal of waste items like corrugate and
shrink-wrap.
Pallet Retrieval: Pallet retrieval services allow our customers
to recover value from used pallets. Pallets can be retrieved from
the customer’s distribution centers or their stores – whichever
best fi ts their business. Our customers may earn credit towards
future IFCO SYSTEMS pallet purchases or choose to receive
cash back for pallets retrieved.
Buy-Sell Programs: This service is ideal for customers who
have received pallets from third-parties that do not meet their
specifi cations. IFCO SYSTEMS will purchase these pallets,
providing credit to the customer towards the purchase of
IFCO SYSTEMS pallets of the correct specifi cation.

Additionally, our InXchangeTM program, allows IFCO SYSTEMS’
customers to deposit surplus pallets in one location and
withdraw ready-to-use pallets in another – anywhere in our
nationwide network. Customers can track all of their activity on
our Web based PalTraxTM System – 24 hours a day.
As a packaging specialist, IFCO SYSTEMS also offers custom
wood crates and other packaging material to customers in
the lawn and garden, heating and cooling and the personal
recreation vehicle industries, to name a few. These cost effective
packaging solutions help reduce product damage as well as
improve logistics and handling.

network and sophisticated logistics management systems,
IFCO SYSTEMS customers in North America can rely on having
the right number of highest grade pallets available and on time.
