60 years euro pallet and 30 years Epal
The European Pallet Association (Epal) is celebrating its 30th birthday in 2021 and the 60th birthday of the euro pallet at the same time. With almost 400 licensees, Epal Germany is Epal's largest national committee and represents the trademark right holder in Germany by providing quality assurance of Epal pallets and Epal box pallets.
Founded in 1991 as an international association for exchangeable euro pallets, Eapl is now represented in more than 30 countries. With currently approx. 600 million Epal euro pallets in circulation, the Epal euro pallet exchange pool is the largest open pallet exchange pool in the world.
The euro pallet was invented as a standardised exchange pallet in 1961. The pallets are all standardised and quality-tested. They can be used and exchanged without restrictions. (cj)
