Norbert Dentressangle renews relationship with La Palette Rouge

Norbert Dentressangle has announced the renewal of its relationship with La Palette Rouge (LPR) for a further three years.

LPR has quickly grown to become one of the major pallet-pooling operators for the FMCG manufacturing sector. With subsidiaries throughout Europe, 72 depots and a pool of more than 10m pallets, LPR is currently the second largest pallet pooling company in Europe.

Having worked in partnership with LPR since 2003, Norbert Dentressangle is responsible for the delivery of pallets to LPR’s UK customers which include, amongst others, Kelloggs, Kimberly-Clark and Weetabix. Norbert Dentressangle is also responsible for the collection of pallets from the FMCG and food service sectors and for the maintenance of LPR’s 1.5m strong UK pallet pool. This includes the inspection, reconditioning and repair of damaged pallets.

In support of the contract, Norbert Dentressangle operates seven dedicated pallet sorting and repair facilities throughout the UK and is seeking to invest in a new site in Warrington. The company processes in excess of 140,000 pallets each week, of which approximately 16,000 require repairs.

LPR’s Managing Director, Jane Gorick said: "We are delighted to extend our relationship with Norbert Dentressangle. Culturally, they share our customer service ethics and, being in the industry, they understand the benefits of a quality pallet. Alongside this, one of LPR’s strengths is our flexibility to meet customer specific needs, and when it comes to delivering ‚operational solutions‘, we’ve always found the Norbert Dentressangle team able to step up to the challenge."

Norbert Dentressangle and LPR have also announced they will explore the potential to develop the relationship into mainland Europe.
